## What it is
A dependency-free JavaScript/CoffeeScript library for rendering animated, configurable gauges on HTML canvas. It is resolution-independent, requires no images or CSS, and works in all major browsers.

## Use cases
- render an animated gauge on a dashboard
- display a progress or value meter in the browser
- add a canvas-based speedometer to a web page
- visualize a metric between min and max values
- embed a configurable gauge without dependencies

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free canvas gauge
- you want animated, highly customizable gauge visuals
- you target all major browsers with a single small script

## When to avoid
- you need full charting suites beyond gauges
- you require framework-native components (use wrappers like react-gaugejs or vgauge)
- you need SVG or server-side rendering

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, animation, ui-components
- domain: data-visualization, frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: gauge, canvas, coffeescript, charts, no-dependencies, javascript
