## What it is
An Android library that provides a custom ImageView which loads images progressively like Medium: it first displays a blurred placeholder, then swaps in the full image once loaded. It uses the Stack Blur algorithm and supports configurable blur factors and custom default/failure drawables.

## Use cases
- show a blurry placeholder while an image loads in an android app
- progressive image loading like medium
- replace blank thumbnails with blurred previews
- load two images progressively with automatic swap
- adjust blur intensity of image placeholders

## When to choose
- you want Medium-style progressive image loading in an Android app with minimal setup
- you need a drop-in ImageView replacement with built-in blur placeholders

## When to avoid
- you are not building an Android app
- you need actively maintained image loading - the last release was in 2018
- you already use an image loader like Glide or Coil that supports blur transformations
