## What it is
Vulcan is a full-stack React+GraphQL framework built on Meteor, providing data loading, automatic form generation, email notifications, and UI components out of the box. The repository has been archived and will receive no further updates or fixes.

## Use cases
- build a full-stack React app with GraphQL
- rapidly prototype a Meteor web application
- auto-generate forms from schemas
- build a CRUD app with data loading and mutations
- server-rendered React app with Meteor

## When to choose
- maintaining an existing Vulcan-based Meteor app
- learning how full-stack React+GraphQL frameworks are structured
- forking the codebase for a custom framework

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the repo is archived and unmaintained
- you want Next.js or modern React tooling - consider Vulcan Next instead
- you need security updates or bug fixes
- you don't want to depend on Meteor as a build tool
