## What it is
An Android library that makes it easy to create clickable links within TextViews using specific strings or regex patterns. It supports customizable link colors, touch feedback, underlining, bolding, and long/short click actions.

## Use cases
- make hashtags and mentions clickable in a TextView
- highlight specific words in text with custom link colors
- add long-press and tap actions to parts of a string
- link text matching a regex pattern in Android
- replace TextView autolink with customizable clickable spans

## When to choose
- you need clickable text beyond web URLs, emails, and phone numbers
- you want custom link colors and touch feedback in Android text
- you need regex-based text linking in a TextView

## When to avoid
- you only need standard autolink for URLs, emails, and phone numbers
- your project is not Android-based
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases
