Leverages Core Text for smooth, animated text transitions during pull and refresh states, providing a visually engaging alternative to standard UIRefreshControl.
Supports independent customization of text strings, fonts, and colors for both pull and refreshing states, with multiple convenience initializers for quick setup.
Works with all UIScrollView subclasses like UITableView and UICollectionView, making it versatile for various scrollable iOS interfaces.
Uses block callbacks to handle refresh logic, simplifying implementation as shown in the usage examples with weak self references.
Developers must explicitly call finishLoading after data refreshes; forgetting this leaves the UI stuck in refreshing state, as warned in the README.
Limited to text-based animations without support for images or other graphical elements, restricting design flexibility for more complex refresh indicators.
Primarily implemented and documented in Objective-C, which may not integrate seamlessly with modern Swift codebases without additional bridging efforts.
