## What it is
Reach UI is a collection of accessible React UI components (dialog, menu, tooltip, tabs, etc.) built on WAI-ARIA design patterns, intended as a foundation for React apps and design systems. The project is explicitly unmaintained as stated in its README.

## Use cases
- build accessible react components
- accessible modal dialog in react
- accessible dropdown menu react
- accessible tooltip and tabs components
- foundation for react design system
- wai-aria compliant react widgets

## When to choose
- you need proven accessible React primitives and can vendor/fork the code
- you're maintaining an existing app already built on Reach UI

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the library is unmaintained
- you need ongoing bug fixes or React version compatibility updates
- you want actively developed alternatives like Radix UI or React Aria

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, accessibility
- domain: frontend, web-development, accessibility
- platform: -
- tags: react, design-systems, wai-aria, component-library, unmaintained, web, nodejs
