## What it is
Catalog is a React-based tool for creating living, interactive style guides and component documentation using Markdown and React components. The project has been officially deprecated and is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- document react component libraries
- build a living style guide for a design system
- write interactive docs mixing markdown and react components
- create a component playground with examples
- generate a documentation site for ui components

## When to choose
- maintaining an existing project already built on Catalog
- you need a markdown-driven react style guide and accept no future updates

## When to avoid
- starting a new design system documentation project
- you need long-term support or security updates
- you want an actively maintained alternative like Storybook, Ladle, or Docusaurus
