## What it is
A lightweight React library that provides pixel-perfect layout inspection by overlaying margin, padding, and size measurements when hovering elements while holding the Option key. It is a proof-of-concept developer tool intended for use in development environments.

## Use cases
- inspect element margins and padding visually in a React app
- debug layout spacing issues during development
- measure element width and height on hover
- overlay layout guides on component trees
- check pixel-perfect alignment of UI components

## When to choose
- you build React apps and want quick in-browser layout inspection without browser devtools
- you want a lightweight dev-only overlay for spacing and sizing
- you want to toggle inspection of margin, padding, or size independently

## When to avoid
- you use frameworks other than React
- you need production-grade layout debugging or full devtools features
- you need a maintained, stable tool - it is an alpha proof of concept with little recent activity
