## What it is
An Android library written in Java that adds depth and thickness to Views using custom shadow rendering instead of Android's default shadows. It also includes canvas drawing examples for particle systems, waves, grain effects, and tweening functions for animations.

## Use cases
- add depth to android views
- custom shadows that survive rotation
- create 3d-looking ui animations on android
- particle system and wave effects with canvas
- tweening animations in android apps

## When to choose
- you need visually rich depth/shadow effects on Android views
- default Android shadows break when views are rotated
- you want canvas drawing examples for particles, waves, or grain effects

## When to avoid
- you need a production-hardened, well-documented library
- you want modern Kotlin-first Android UI tooling
- you need long-term support or frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components, graphics
- domain: mobile-development, graphics, web-design
- platform: -
- tags: android-views, shadows, depth-effect, canvas-drawing, tweening, prototype, android, mobile
