## What it is
AdaptiveController is a Swift UI module for iOS that implements 'Progressive Reduction', allowing custom states to be added to native or custom UI elements that evolve as users become familiar with the app. It includes an example AdaptiveTabBar that transitions from text labels to simplified icon-only states over time.

## Use cases
- implement progressive reduction in an iOS tab bar
- make tab bar icons simplify as users learn the app
- add time-based custom states to iOS UI elements
- build an adaptive navigation bar in Swift
- reduce visual clutter in an iOS app over time
- create a Swift UI component with evolving states

## When to choose
- building a native iOS app in Swift with a tab bar that should adapt to user familiarity
- you want a lightweight MIT-licensed UI component for progressive reduction
- you prefer integrating via CocoaPods or dragging a project file into Xcode

## When to avoid
- targeting Android or cross-platform frameworks like React Native or Flutter
- you need a actively maintained library with recent updates
- your app requires complex dynamic navigation beyond simple state transitions

## Facets
