## What it is
VerticalCardSwiper is a Swift UIKit library that recreates the Shazam Discover UI combined with Tinder-style card swiping, built on UICollectionView with a custom flow layout. It lets iOS developers display vertically stacked, swipeable cards that can be dismissed or kept for later.

## Use cases
- build a tinder-like card swipe interface in ios
- recreate the shazam discover screen in my app
- swipeable card stack with uicollectionview in swift
- vertical card carousel with swipe gestures
- let users swipe cards left or right but keep them in the deck
- animated card ui for a dating or discovery app

## When to choose
- you need a Tinder/Shazam-style card UI in a native iOS app built with UIKit
- you want swipeable cards that can be dismissed or kept in the stack
- you prefer a UICollectionView-based, datasource-driven component familiar from standard iOS development

## When to avoid
- your app is built with SwiftUI and you want a native declarative solution
- you need a cross-platform card swipe component for Android or web
- you need actively developed features, since the project is in maintenance mode
