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
