## What it is
A deprecated front-end starter template from the HTML5 Boilerplate project for building fast, robust mobile web applications. It bundles mobile browser optimizations, CSS normalizations, feature detection, and server configuration defaults.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a mobile web app project
- get mobile browser viewport and icon meta tags
- optimize a mobile site for performance
- set up Apache caching and compression defaults
- find mobile web app best practices from 2015

## When to choose
- you need a historical reference for mobile web optimization techniques
- you maintain a legacy project already built on it

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - it is deprecated and unmaintained
- you want current mobile web tooling - use HTML5 Boilerplate or a modern framework instead
- you need active community support or updates

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: templating, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, mobile-development, frontend
