## What it is
A Swift UICollectionViewFlowLayout subclass for iOS that lets developers control horizontal and vertical alignment of collection view cells, aligning them like words in left- or right-aligned text. It behaves like Apple's standard flow layout and is well suited for tag views and similar simple layouts.

## Use cases
- align collection view cells like left- or right-aligned text
- build a tag cloud or tag view in iOS
- vertically align cells within their rows in a collection view
- create justified cell layouts in UICollectionView
- support leading/trailing alignment for RTL languages
- customize UICollectionViewFlowLayout cell alignment

## When to choose
- you need text-like horizontal or vertical alignment of collection view cells
- you are building a tag view with a limited number of simple items
- you want a drop-in subclass that behaves like UICollectionViewFlowLayout

## When to avoid
- you display a very large number of items or complex cell layouts, since scrolling may become laggy
- you only need the default centered flow layout behavior
- your project does not use UIKit or Swift on iOS
