## What it is
ViewDeck is an Objective-C framework for iOS that implements sliding side menus via the IIViewDeckController container view controller. It manages left and right side menus presented programmatically or through user swipe gestures, alongside a center view controller.

## Use cases
- add a sliding side menu to an iOS app
- implement a hamburger navigation drawer in Objective-C
- open and close side panels programmatically with buttons
- support interactive swipe gestures to reveal side menus
- combine side menus with UINavigationController or UITabBarController

## When to choose
- you are building an iOS app in Objective-C or Swift that needs a classic sliding side menu
- you want gesture-driven and programmatic side menu presentation with a container view controller
- you need a lightweight, CocoaPods-integrated menu library compatible with older iOS deployment targets

## When to avoid
- you are building for Android, web, or cross-platform targets
- you want prebuilt, fully styled menu UI rather than just presentation management
- you need a modern, actively developed solution - the project has seen little recent activity and has no license file
