## What it is
An Android library that captures in-app bug reports via a multi-touch gesture, taking a screenshot and optionally emailing it with device info. It provides a TelescopeLayout view group with configurable trigger and screenshot options.

## Use cases
- capture bug reports from within an android app
- let users shake or multi-touch to send feedback with a screenshot
- email app and device info with a bug report
- add debug-only feedback capture to android builds

## When to choose
- you want lightweight in-app bug reporting on Android without a third-party feedback service
- you need screenshot capture triggered by a gesture in debug builds

## When to avoid
- you need a full crash reporting or analytics platform
- your app is not Android/Java-based

- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
