## What it is
Tint is a framework for building native desktop JavaScript applications across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. It provides a runtime and native UI bindings so developers can write desktop apps in JavaScript.

## Use cases
- build native desktop apps in javascript

- package javascript as a native mac app
- write windows desktop applications in javascript
- develop mobile apps with javascript and native ui

## When to choose
- you want native UI controls from JavaScript on macOS or Windows
- you prefer a Node-like runtime with native bindings over web-based shells

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained framework with recent releases
- you need full Linux support, which is still in progress
- you want a large community and ecosystem like Electron
