## What it is
Swip.js is a JavaScript library for combining multiple mobile devices into a single shared screen experience in the browser. It lets developers build multi-device experiments and demos, such as games and particle visualizations, that span several phones or tablets.

## Use cases
- combine multiple phones into one big screen
- build multi-device browser games
- create touch experiments across tablets and phones
- sync UI across several mobile devices
- build a shared canvas spanning multiple devices
- run interactive multi-device demos at events

## When to choose
- you want to experiment with combining mobile devices into one screen
- you need a platform-independent, browser-based multi-device UI
- you want a lightweight JavaScript library for touch-based multi-device demos

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, actively maintained library
- you require reliable connectivity without network setup
- you need support for modern Node.js versions and tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: websocket, frontend-framework, ui-components, animation
- domain: web-development, frontend, mobile-development
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: multi-device, multi-screen, touch, mobile-web, distributed-ui, experiment, real-time, javascript, nodejs, mobile
