An iOS library for creating tutorials, release notes, and animated pages with custom positioning and animations.
Presentation is an iOS library designed to help developers create interactive tutorials, release notes, and animated pages within their apps. It solves the problem of building complex, multi-page presentations with custom animations and positioning by providing a simple, declarative API. The library abstracts AutoLayout constraints and enables percentage-based positioning for consistent layouts across devices.
iOS developers building apps that require user onboarding, tutorials, release notes, or animated walkthroughs. It's particularly useful for those seeking a lightweight, native alternative to web-based presentation tools within their iOS applications.
Developers choose Presentation for its minimal code approach to creating animated presentations, eliminating the need to manually manage AutoLayout constraints for complex animations. Its unique selling point is the percentage-based positioning system and seamless integration with existing `UIViewController`-based slides, making it both flexible and easy to adopt.

The library abstracts AutoLayout complexities, allowing developers to create multi-page presentations with minimal code, as demonstrated in the simple PresentationController setup with arrays of UIViewController slides.
Uses percentage-based Position structs for view placement, ensuring consistent layouts across different iPhone and iPad screen sizes without manual constraint adjustments, as highlighted in the custom positioning feature.
Supports any UIViewController as a slide via SlideController, making it easy to integrate with existing iOS app architectures and custom view controllers, as noted in the slides section.
Provides TransitionAnimation for animating views on specific pages with configurable duration and damping, enhancing interactive tutorials and walkthroughs, as shown in the page animations example.
Marked as deprecated with no ongoing maintenance, meaning it lacks updates for newer iOS versions, bug fixes, and security patches, posing significant risks for production use, as warned at the top of the README.
Built solely for UIKit, it doesn't integrate with SwiftUI, limiting its relevance in modern iOS development where SwiftUI is increasingly adopted, and forcing reliance on older frameworks.
Relies on third-party libraries like Pages and Cartography for core functionality, which could introduce additional complexity, compatibility issues, and abandonment risks in project setup, as mentioned in the Components section.
While it simplifies common tasks, the library's focus on minimal effort over extensibility may hinder developers needing highly specific or complex animation requirements beyond the provided TransitionAnimation, as implied by its declarative philosophy.
