## What it is
FancyTabBar is an Objective-C iOS library providing an expandable, customizable tab bar that reveals up to five sub-menu options from a single menu button. It helps keep mobile interfaces uncluttered.

## Use cases
- add an expandable tab bar to an iOS app
- replace a cluttered iOS tab bar with a compact menu button
- create an animated radial menu in Objective-C
- customize a tab bar with up to five sub-menu actions
- keep a mobile UI uncluttered with a collapsible menu

## When to choose
- building an Objective-C iOS app that needs an expandable tab bar
- wanting a lightweight, MIT-licensed UI component you can customize
- needing a proven component used in a shipped consumer app

## When to avoid
- starting a new Swift or SwiftUI project with no Objective-C interop
- needing actively maintained components with recent updates
- requiring more than five sub-menu options
