## What it is
An Objective-C UICollectionViewLayout subclass for iOS that adds sticky section headers and parallax/growing image headers to UICollectionView, replacing UITableView-style behaviors. It is distributed via CocoaPods and Carthage and was designed for iOS 7.

## Use cases
- add sticky section headers to a UICollectionView like UITableView
- create a parallax scrolling header with a growing image
- build Spotify-style profile headers in an iOS app
- replace UITableView with a more flexible collection view layout
- implement scroll-triggered header animations in Objective-C or Swift

## When to choose
- you are building an iOS app in Objective-C or Swift that needs sticky or parallax headers
- you want UITableView-like sticky section headers with UICollectionView flexibility
- you need a lightweight layout subclass rather than a full UI framework

## When to avoid
- you are targeting modern iOS where UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout covers similar needs
- you need cross-platform or SwiftUI-native solutions
- the project appears to be in maintenance with no recent feature development

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: mobile-development, frontend
- platform: -
- tags: uicollectionview, objective-c, parallax-header, sticky-headers, cocoapods, carthage, ios, mobile
