## What it is
An Objective-C iOS library implementing the Twitter/iPad-style stacked view controller UI, acting like a UINavigationController that stacks UIViewControllers with shadows and rounded borders. The author explicitly states it was made for iOS 4 and should no longer be used.

## Use cases
- implement a Twitter iPad-style stacked UI in an iOS app
- stack multiple UIViewControllers like a navigation controller
- build multi-pane iPad interfaces with stacked panels
- add push/pop stacked views with shadows and rounded borders

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy iOS 4/5 codebase that already uses it

## When to avoid
- any new iOS project
- modern iOS versions or Swift projects
- production apps needing maintained dependencies
