## What it is
GSKStretchyHeaderView is an Objective-C library that adds stretchy headers (as seen in Twitter, Spotify, or Airbnb apps) to UITableView and UICollectionView. It works with frame layout, auto layout, and Interface Builder xibs without requiring custom view controllers or scroll view layouts.

## Use cases
- add a stretchy header to a table view
- make a collection view header that stretches on pull down
- implement a Twitter-style expanding header in iOS
- add a parallax stretchy header via Interface Builder
- grow a header only when reaching the top of a scroll view

## When to avoid
- you are building with SwiftUI
- your project targets modern iOS where UICollectionViewCompositionalLayout or custom solutions are preferred
- you need actively developed features beyond maintenance fixes
