## What it is
Gestalt is Pinterest's open-source design system, providing a React component library with guidelines, tools, and resources for building accessible, consistent product UI. It includes companion packages for charts and date pickers, TypeScript declarations, and codemods for breaking-change upgrades.

## Use cases
- build React apps with a polished accessible component library
- implement WCAG 2.1 AA compliant interfaces
- support dark mode and right-to-left layouts in a design system
- add charts and date pickers to a React app
- migrate component APIs across versions with codemods
- standardize UI across a large product team

## When to choose
- you want production-tested React components with strong accessibility and i18n support
- you need TypeScript types and upgrade codemods for a design system
- you like Pinterest's visual design language or want a neutral, cohesive system

## When to avoid
- you need a design system matching a different brand aesthetic
- you don't use React or ES6 module bundling
- you want a headless/unstyled component library
