## What it is
Nimx is a cross-platform GUI framework written in Nim, supporting Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, iOS, and WebAssembly. It provides a view hierarchy, declarative layout DSL, and can render to WebGL for browser demos.

## Use cases
- build a cross-platform desktop GUI app in Nim
- compile a Nim GUI app to WebAssembly for the browser
- create mobile apps with a shared Nim UI codebase
- write a hello-world window with labels and layout
- prototype UIs without learning platform-native toolkits

## When to choose
- you want one Nim codebase targeting desktop, mobile, and web
- you prefer a declarative layout DSL over imperative UI code
- you need WebGL/browser rendering from native code

## When to avoid
- you need a battle-tested, stable GUI toolkit for production
- you require a large ecosystem of third-party widgets
- you are not using the latest Nim devel compiler
