## What it is
A pure JavaScript React Native component that renders a masonry-style (Pinterest-like) grid layout for remote images. It supports dynamic columns, progressive image loading, device rotation, on-press handlers, and custom headers/captions.

## Use cases
- render a pinterest-style image grid in a react native app
- display photos in a masonry layout with variable heights
- build a photo gallery with tappable images in react native
- show a multi-column image feed that adapts to device rotation
- load remote images progressively in a scrolling grid
- add captions or headers to items in an image grid

## When to choose
- you need a masonry image grid in React Native without native dependencies
- you want dynamic column counts and rotation support out of the box
- you need on-press handlers and captions on grid items
- you want an Expo-compatible pure JS component

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, actively developed library (last release 2023, low activity)
- you need a general-purpose masonry layout for non-image content
- you need virtualization for extremely large lists beyond its optimizations
- your project uses a newer React Native version with potential compatibility issues
