## What it is
Skeuocard is a JavaScript library that progressively enhances credit card input forms into a skeuomorphic, visually realistic card interface. It detects card type as the user types and updates the underlying form values while gracefully degrading on unsupported browsers.

## Use cases
- make credit card inputs look like a real card on checkout pages
- auto-detect card type (Visa, MasterCard, Amex) as the user types
- improve payment form usability and reduce purchase abandonment
- progressively enhance an existing credit card form without changing backend inputs
- render issuer-specific card layouts like Chase Sapphire

## When to choose
- you want a visually skeuomorphic credit card entry widget on a classic multi-page checkout
- you need progressive enhancement that leaves underlying form inputs intact
- you must support many card networks including UnionPay, JCB, Diners Club, and Maestro

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library - the project is unmaintained and seeking a new maintainer
- you're building a modern React/Vue SPA and prefer a maintained component library
- you want minimal, flat payment inputs rather than skeuomorphic visuals

## Facets
- artifact type: library
