## What it is
An Android custom ViewGroup library that renders a horizontal, ListView-like 'pile' layout with stretch and contraction (scaling) effects while sliding. It provides an adapter-based API with view recycling and customizable display parameters.

## Use cases
- build a horizontal card pile UI in Android
- create a stacked card carousel with scaling effects
- implement a draggable horizontal list with stretch animation
- display a swipeable card deck in an Android app
- recycle views in a custom horizontal scrolling layout

## When to choose
- you need a pile/stack-style horizontal card layout on Android
- you want an adapter-based custom ViewGroup with view recycling
- you need fine control over item spacing, scaling, and visible item count

## When to avoid
- you need a standard RecyclerView LayoutManager solution
- you want an actively maintained library with recent updates
- your project requires a licensed dependency with explicit license terms beyond Apache 2.0 notice
