### What we like

Generic library which makes it easy to build autocomplete. Keyboard navigation available out of the box. You only need to provide a container for the autocomplete and sources for it to get items from. Sources can be static e.g. links, or dynamic e.g. searching a database. Made by, but does not require, Algolia’s search product.

### Tradeoffs

Designed specifically to solve autocomplete, which may be part of search, but can cover other use cases as well e.g. a command bar. This means it doesn’t provide a library of UI components - you’re in charge of building the UI.
