## What it is
A drop-in UICollectionViewFlowLayout subclass for iOS that left-aligns collection view cells instead of the default justified layout. Written in Objective-C and distributed via CocoaPods.

## Use cases
- left-align collection view cells
- tag-style wrapping layout in uikit
- stop uicollectionview centering the last row
- custom flow layout for ios collection views
- left-aligned chip or badge list in swift

## When to choose
- you need left-aligned cells in a UICollectionView flow layout on iOS
- you want a drop-in replacement compatible with UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout

## When to avoid
- you are building with SwiftUI instead of UIKit
- you need right-aligned or fully custom layout behavior
- you need actively developed features beyond basic left alignment
