When NOT to use tome
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- You need capabilities beyond just a desktop client, such as comprehensive model training or large-scale server administration features
- Advanced customization of the frontend is important as tome's Svelte framework might restrict deeper modifications without significant workarounds
