## What it is
SwiftSpinner is a Swift library for iOS that displays a beautiful activity indicator (spinner) with text overlays using blur and translucency effects. It also supports modal alert-style messages with tap handlers and customizable fonts.

## Use cases
- show a loading spinner while fetching data in an iOS app
- display a translucent loading overlay with status text
- show a modal alert message users can tap to dismiss
- customize the loading indicator title font
- animate text changes during a long-running operation

## When to choose
- you're building an iOS app in Swift and want a polished, blur-based loading indicator
- you need a simple one-line API to show/hide progress overlays with text
- you want spinner and modal alert behavior in a single lightweight component

## When to avoid
- you're targeting SwiftUI-only projects and want native SwiftUI progress views
- you need highly customizable or complex loading animations
- the project requires actively maintained dependencies, as updates have slowed
