## What it is
A lightweight Android UI library that provides a Nexus 5 launcher-style circle page indicator for ViewPager, ViewPager2, and RecyclerView. It is distributed via Maven Central and customizable through XML attributes.

## Use cases

- show circle indicators for a RecyclerView pager with PagerSnapHelper
- customize indicator size, margin, drawables, and animation via XML
- animate page selection in an onboarding carousel
- replace the default ViewPager dots with a Nexus 5 launcher style indicator
