## What it is
A React Native component that provides a parallax scrolling effect for vertical ScrollViews, with a background header image and optional header content that fades as you scroll. It wraps a standard ScrollView and animates the header based on scroll position.

## Use cases
- add a parallax header image to a React Native scroll view
- create a profile screen with a fading header on scroll
- build a detail page with a collapsing image header
- animate header content opacity while scrolling in React Native
- implement parallax scrolling list views in a mobile app

## When to choose
- you are on an older React Native version (pre-0.8 era) and need a simple parallax header
- you want a lightweight, MIT-licensed component with a minimal prop API

## When to avoid
- you are on a modern React Native codebase - the library has not been updated since 2017 and may be incompatible
- you need maintained alternatives like react-native-parallax-header or reanimated-based solutions
- you need horizontal parallax or complex scroll effects
