## What it is
Remixer is a set of cross-platform libraries and protocols from Google's Material Design team for defining UI variables that can be adjusted live while an app is running. It supports Android, iOS, and JavaScript, with a remote web dashboard for tweaking design values without rebuilding or restarting the app.

## Use cases
- tweak app design values live without rebuilding
- share design variables across android ios and web
- adjust ui variables from a remote web dashboard during development
- iterate quickly on material design styling
- let designers and developers collaborate on ui tuning

## When to choose
- you maintain an existing codebase already using Remixer
- you want live in-app design value tweaking across Android, iOS, and JavaScript

## When to avoid
- starting a new project, since Remixer is deprecated with no planned development
- you need actively maintained tooling or long-term support
- you only need simple theming, which modern platform tools handle better

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, developer-tools, configuration-management
- domain: web-development, mobile-development, developer-tools, cross-platform
