## What it is
Fries is a mobile UI framework for prototyping Android apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, inspired by Ratchet. It provides Android-styled components and icons so developers can build native-looking prototypes in the browser.

## Use cases
- prototype an android app with html css and javascript
- build android-styled mobile web ui mockups
- create native-looking android app prototypes without java
- rapidly mock up android app screens in the browser
- demo android app concepts to stakeholders before native development

## When to choose
- you need a quick, lightweight way to prototype Android-style UIs with web technologies
- you want Android look-and-feel components without touching Java or the Android SDK

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained framework with active support and bug fixes
- you are building a production Android app rather than a prototype
- you need modern Android Material Design components

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: frontend-framework, ui-components, css-framework
- domain: mobile-development, web-development, frontend
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: mobile-ui, html-css-javascript, prototyping, android-look-and-feel, unmaintained, android, web-server
