## What it is
A Flutter package that lets you place sticky headers on scrollable content that remain pinned to the top while the content scrolls. It works with any scrollable widget such as ListView, GridView, CustomScrollView, or SingleChildScrollView without special wrappers.

## Use cases
- add sticky section headers to a list in flutter
- pin headers while scrolling a gridview
- create animated headers over scrollable content
- group list items with headers that stick on scroll
- build alphabetically sectioned contact list in flutter

## When to choose
- you need sticky headers inside any Flutter scrollable widget with minimal setup
- you want a lightweight MIT-licensed widget library with no special wrappers
- you need headers that can be animated or overlap content

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained package with frequent updates - the last release was in 2024 and updates are infrequent
- you need sliver-based sticky headers with advanced CustomScrollView integration beyond simple pinning
- your project is not built with Flutter/Dart
