## What it is
A React library from Discord that renders and styles focus indicators for keyboard navigation anywhere on a webpage. It provides FocusRing and FocusRingScope components to centrally manage consistent, well-positioned focus outlines.

## Use cases
- add accessible focus rings to buttons and links in react
- implement keyboard navigation focus indicators across a web app
- style consistent focus outlines like discord does
- render focus rings inside scrollable or absolutely positioned containers
- replace inconsistent css focus styles with a centralized system

## When to choose
- you are building a React app that needs polished, app-wide keyboard focus indicators
- native CSS focus styles are insufficient for your design or positioning needs
- you want a battle-tested solution used in production by Discord

## When to avoid
- your project does not use React
- you only need simple outline styling achievable with plain CSS :focus-visible
- you need focus management for non-DOM or canvas-based UIs
