## What it is
A small Swift demo project showing an animated transition of a hamburger menu button morphing into a close (X) icon on iOS. It accompanies a blog post explaining the animation technique and was inspired by a Dribbble shot.

## Use cases
- animate a hamburger menu button into a close icon on iOS
- learn how to build morphing button transitions in Swift
- find reference code for menu toggle animations
- recreate a dribbble-style animated menu button
- study Core Animation path morphing techniques

## When to choose
- you want a reference implementation of a hamburger-to-X button animation in Swift
- you are learning iOS animation techniques from example code

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, maintained UI component library
- you need a license to safely reuse the code
- you need Android, web, or cross-platform support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: mobile-development, frontend, graphics
- platform: -
- tags: hamburger-button, swiftui-alternative, core-animation, demo, ui-transition, ios, swift, mobile
