## What it is
A Swift library of custom UITextField subclasses with animated visual effects inspired by Codrops text input designs. Effects like Kaede, Hoshi, and Madoka are drop-in replacements usable via Interface Builder (IBDesignable) or code.

## Use cases
- add animated text input effects to an iOS form
- make UITextField placeholders more visually engaging in Swift
- use IBDesignable text fields in storyboards
- recreate Codrops text input animations in iOS
- style login form text fields with custom effects

## When to choose
- you want prebuilt, ready-to-use animated UITextField styles in Swift
- you prefer configuring text fields visually in Interface Builder
- you need a simple drop-in subclass with MIT licensing

## When to avoid
- you need SwiftUI text fields rather than UIKit
- you want fully custom or brand-specific input animations
- you need actively developed features beyond the existing effect set

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
