## What it is
A fully customizable Android view library that renders an animated snowfall effect with round or custom snowflake images. It is distributed via JitPack and compatible with Android API 16+.

## Use cases
- add falling snow animation to an android app for christmas
- show a customizable snowfall overlay view in kotlin
- use custom snowflake images falling on screen
- add seasonal winter effects to my mobile app ui
- animate snowflakes with configurable size speed and fading

## When to choose
- you need a drop-in Android view for snow or particle-like falling effects
- you want XML-attribute customization of snowflake count, size, speed, and images
- your minSdk is 16 or higher and you use Gradle/JitPack

## When to avoid
- you need general-purpose particle systems or physics animations beyond snowfall
- you target platforms other than Android
- you need a library with frequent updates or active maintenance guarantees

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: mobile-development, frontend
- platform: -
- tags: snowfall, custom-view, kotlin, seasonal-effects, particle-effects, android
