## What it is
A lightweight Swift UICollectionViewFlowLayout subclass that pages and keeps its cells centered, producing a carousel effect. It supports iOS and tvOS and installs via Swift Package Manager, CocoaPods, or Carthage.

## Use cases
- build a carousel of cards in a UICollectionView
- create a paging image gallery with centered cells
- implement a horizontally scrolling picker with snap-to-center behavior
- add a cover-flow style product carousel to an iOS app
- make a tvOS browsing carousel

## When to choose
- you need a drop-in carousel effect on top of UICollectionViewFlowLayout
- you want a lightweight Swift library with SPM/CocoaPods/Carthage support
- you target iOS 9+ or tvOS

## When to avoid
- you need a fully featured carousel with infinite looping and custom animations
- your project uses SwiftUI exclusively
- you need actively developed features (last release was 2021)

## Facets

- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
