## What it is
Scratch GUI is a set of React components that make up the interface for creating and running Scratch 3.0 projects, the block-based visual programming environment. It is part of the Scratch Foundation's editor ecosystem and has been migrated into the scratch-editor mono-repo.

## Use cases
- embed a Scratch 3.0 project editor in my own web app
- build a kids coding platform with block-based programming
- customize the Scratch editor for my classroom
- run Scratch projects in the browser
- fork the Scratch editor to add custom blocks
- create a standalone offline Scratch editor

## When to choose
- you want to embed or customize the Scratch 3.0 editor in a Node.js/React application
- you are building educational coding tools for children
- you need to run or author Scratch projects programmatically

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose code editor or IDE
- you want text-based programming rather than visual blocks
- you need new features or to file issues - the repo is archived in favor of the scratch-editor mono-repo
