## What it is
FireShell is an opinionated front-end boilerplate combining an HTML5 framework with a Grunt-based build workflow, Sass setup, and automatic minification. It scaffolds project structure and automates tasks like livereloading, file concatenation, and production builds.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new html5 front-end project
- set up a grunt build workflow with sass
- automatically minify css and javascript for production
- livereload the browser during development
- get a baseline html5 project structure with aria roles

## When to choose
- starting a simple static front-end project with a classic grunt/sass workflow
- you want a lightweight html5 boilerplate with build automation included

## When to avoid
- starting a modern project - the tool relies on Grunt and has not been updated since 2018
- you need an actively maintained boilerplate or framework
- building SPAs or component-based apps with modern tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource

- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
