## What it is
An Android library for creating Toast-like tooltips that can be anchored to specific views or screen points, with extensive customization options. It provides a Kotlin builder API for styling, animation, positioning, and close behavior.

## Use cases
- show a tooltip pointing to a button in an android app
- display coach-mark style hints anchored to ui elements
- create customizable toast-like popups with arrows and animations
- highlight a view with an overlay tooltip on android
- show tooltips at fixed screen coordinates
- customize tooltip background, stroke, corner radius and font via styles

## When to choose
- you need tooltips anchored to specific views or screen points on android
- you want fine-grained styling and animation control over tooltips
- you want a lightweight maven/jitpack dependency with a fluent builder API

## When to avoid
- you need tooltips on non-Android platforms
- you need full onboarding/coach-mark flows with sequences rather than single tooltips
- you need a Jetpack Compose-native tooltip solution

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, frontend
