## What it is
An Android library providing a SnapHelper that snaps a RecyclerView's items to a chosen edge or center, with a ready-made GravitySnapRecyclerView widget. It supports fling distance limits, scroll speed tuning, padding snapping, and RTL layouts.

## Use cases
- snap RecyclerView items to the start edge
- center the current item in a horizontal carousel
- limit fling distance in a RecyclerView list
- change scroll speed of a snapping RecyclerView
- snap list items accounting for padding
- build a paging-style horizontal list on Android

## When to choose
- you need edge or center snapping for Android RecyclerViews
- you want fling and scroll speed customization out of the box
- you need RTL support for snapped lists

## When to avoid
- you are not using RecyclerView
- you use Jetpack Compose instead of the View system
- you need snapping behavior beyond edges and center
