A React Native component library that renders shimmer/skeleton placeholders while content loads, supporting both iOS and Android. It works with expo-linear-gradient or react-native-linear-gradient and can connect multiple placeholder components for coordinated animations.
Use cases
- show skeleton loading screens in react native apps
- shimmer placeholder while fetching data
- facebook-style loading animation for feed content
- placeholder for images and text before they load
- skeleton ui for expo app
- animated loading placeholders on ios and android
When to choose
- building React Native or Expo apps that need polished skeleton loading states
- you want coordinated shimmer animations across multiple placeholder components
- you need cross-platform (iOS/Android) placeholder support with a small install size
When to avoid
- building for web-only React projects where CSS-based skeletons suffice
- you need complex skeleton layouts out of the box rather than composing simple placeholders
- the project requires actively maintained dependencies with frequent releases
