## What it is
A C++ library providing Qt widgets that implement Google's Material Design specification for desktop applications. It includes components such as app bars, buttons, dialogs, drawers, snackbars, tabs, and text fields styled according to Material Design.

## Use cases
- build a desktop app with material design widgets in Qt
- add material style buttons and dialogs to a C++ Qt application
- create a navigation drawer in Qt
- style Qt forms with material text fields and checkboxes
- implement snackbar notifications in a desktop app

## When to choose
- you are building a C++ Qt desktop application and want Material Design look and feel
- you need ready-made Material widgets like FABs, drawers, and app bars in Qt

## When to avoid
- you are building a web or mobile app rather than a Qt desktop application
- you need QML/Qt Quick components instead of Qt Widgets
- you need a very actively developed library with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, theme
- domain: desktop-applications, web-design, cross-platform
- platform: cpp, cross-platform
- tags: qt, material-design, widgets, gui, desktop
