## What it is
A Swift library for iOS that displays placeholder and empty states (loading, no results, error, no connection) for UITableView and UICollectionView. It provides ready-made and customizable placeholder views via simple subclassing and one-line calls.

## Use cases
- show a loading placeholder while fetching data in a table view
- display an empty state when a collection view has no results
- show an error placeholder when an API request fails
- display a no connection placeholder when the network is offline
- customize placeholder views for table and collection views in iOS apps

## When to choose
- you are building an iOS app in Swift with UITableView or UICollectionView and need empty/loading/error states
- you want a drop-in CocoaPods or Carthage dependency with minimal setup
- you need prebuilt, customizable placeholder screens without writing them from scratch

## When to avoid
- you are not developing for iOS or not using UIKit table/collection views
- you use SwiftUI exclusively
- you need a heavily maintained library with recent updates and modern Swift features
