# maustinstar/shiny

Shiny uses your gyroscope to simulate lighting and motion effects on colors. Works on almost every SwiftUI View.

## What it is
Shiny is a Swift package that adds gyroscope-driven lighting and motion effects to SwiftUI views via a simple .shiny() modifier. It works on nearly any native SwiftUI view to create glossy, skeuomorphic textures inspired by the Apple Cash Card.

## Use cases
- add motion-based lighting effects to SwiftUI views
- create glossy neumorphic UI in iOS apps
- make text and buttons react to device tilt
- simulate skeuomorphic textures like the Apple Cash card
- add eye-catching shine to important interface elements

## When to choose
- you are building an iOS app with SwiftUI and want dynamic, motion-reactive visual effects
- you want a one-line modifier to add glossy depth to views
- you prefer lightweight Swift Package Manager dependencies

## When to avoid
- you target platforms without SwiftUI or gyroscope support
- you need cross-platform (Android, web) motion effects
- you want a full design system rather than a single visual effect

## Facets
- artifact type: library
