A Kotlin library providing a shimmering animation effect for Jetpack Compose and Compose Multiplatform, applied via a simple Modifier.shimmer(). It supports Android, iOS, Desktop JVM, JS Browser, and Wasm targets.

Use cases

• add a shimmer loading placeholder to a Compose UI
• show skeleton screens while data loads in Jetpack Compose
• animate a shimmering highlight over placeholder boxes
• apply shimmer effects in Compose Multiplatform apps on iOS and desktop
• customize shimmer animation for loading states in Android apps

When to choose

• you are building UI with Jetpack Compose or Compose Multiplatform and need loading placeholders
• you want a simple modifier-based shimmer with minimal setup
• you need multiplatform support including Android, iOS, desktop, and web

When to avoid

• your app uses the classic Android View system instead of Compose
• you need complex custom loading animations beyond a shimmer effect
