## What it is
Playroom is a zero-install, code-oriented design environment that lets teams design with JSX powered by their own React component library. It builds a standalone bundle that can be deployed alongside design system documentation, enabling simultaneous design across multiple themes and screen sizes.

## Use cases
- prototype UI with real React components in the browser
- preview a design system component across multiple themes at once
- test responsive layouts across different screen sizes simultaneously
- create quick interactive mock-ups with production component code
- share design iterations via URL
- evaluate design system flexibility and component coverage

## When to choose
- you maintain a React-based design system and want a code-oriented playground
- you need to validate components against multiple themes and breakpoints simultaneously
- you want a lightweight, deployable alternative to heavyweight design tools for component work

## When to avoid
- your components are not React/JSX based
- you need pixel-level visual design tools rather than code-driven prototyping
- you need non-browser design workflows like print or native mobile design

## Facets
- artifact type: application
