Shimmer.NET 1.1.1

Shimmer.NET 💎

High-Performance, Content-Aware Shimmer for .NET Android

Shimmer.NET is a 100% C# native Android library that brings premium loading indicators to your .NET applications. Say goodbye to heavy Java/Kotlin bindings and hello to a sleek, modern, and high-performance skeleton loading experience.

✨ Key Features

• 🛡️ PorterDuff Masking: Professional content-aware shimmering. The effect only highlights your text and shapes, not the background.
• 🔄 Perfectly Synchronized: The ShimmerGroup container allows multiple independent shimmers to sweep in unison.
• 🚥 Automated State Management: Built-in Loading, Content, and Error states with smooth cross-fade transitions.
• 🏗️ Effortless Presets: Instant, code-behind skeleton generation for common UI patterns (Profile, Post, List).
• 🚀 Ultra-Fast Rendering: Hardware-accelerated drawing with optimized ValueAnimator management.
• 🎨 Infinite Customization: Directional control (4 directions), shapes (Linear/Radial), repeat delays, and custom interpolators.
