When to use VCI
Good fit
- Personal tools with a bounded action vocabulary (to-do, notes, timers, expense capture, journaling, kanban, habit trackers, shopping lists).
- Solo users on a single device.
- Apps where every meaningful action is known ahead of time.
Bad fit
- Multi-user collaborative apps (needs a backend to broker state).
- Public production deployments without a token-minting backend.
- Apps requiring precise pointer selection, dragging, or dense forms.
