## What it is
Titanic is a deprecated Android library that animates a TextView with a sinking wave effect using an animated BitmapShader on the text paint. It provides a custom TitanicTextView and a simple start/cancel API for the animation.

## Use cases
- add a wave animation to a loading text on Android
- create a sinking text effect in an Android app
- animate TextView text with a shader-based effect
- show a playful loading indicator in Android
- reproduce a codepen text effect natively on Android

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with support and updates
- you need a general-purpose text animation toolkit
- your project targets modern Android with strict dependency policies since it has no license

- artifact type: library
