## What it is
A pure CSS library that beautifies checkbox and radio button inputs with shapes, colors, animations, and iOS-style switches, requiring no JavaScript. It works alongside CSS frameworks like Bootstrap, Foundation, and Bulma and is customizable via SCSS.

## Use cases
- style checkbox and radio buttons with pure css
- make ios-style toggle switches without javascript
- customize checkbox colors shapes and animations
- beautify form inputs in a bootstrap project
- add animated checkboxes to a static html page
- theme checkboxes via scss variables

## When to choose
- you want dependency-free, JavaScript-free form control styling
- you need checkbox/radio/switch styling compatible with any CSS framework
- you want SCSS-based customization of form controls

## When to avoid
- you need React/Vue components rather than plain CSS classes
- you need styling for other form elements like selects or text inputs
- you need a library with recent active development and support
