## What it is
Tribute is a cross-browser @mention engine written in ES6 with no dependencies. It attaches to inputs, textareas, and contenteditable elements to provide mention and autocomplete dropdowns.

## Use cases
- add @mention autocomplete to a textarea
- mention users in a contenteditable editor
- autocomplete from a remote collection triggered by #
- add mention support to a WYSIWYG editor
- cross-browser mention dropdown without dependencies

## When to choose
- you need dependency-free mention/autocomplete in vanilla JS
- you must support legacy browsers and contenteditable
- you want framework-agnostic mention support

## When to avoid
- you need a full rich-text editor rather than just mentions
- you want a framework-native component with built-in integration

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, form-handling
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: mentions, autocomplete, es6, zero-dependency, contenteditable, javascript
