A customizable iOS/tvOS scrubber component for quickly navigating between UICollectionView sections.
SectionScrubber is an open-source iOS/tvOS library that adds a draggable scrubber component to UICollectionView, enabling users to quickly jump between sections. It solves the problem of inefficient navigation in apps with large, sectioned collections by providing a visual and interactive scrolling aid.
iOS and tvOS developers building apps with UICollectionView who need to improve user navigation through sectioned content, such as photo galleries, media libraries, or data-heavy lists.
Developers choose SectionScrubber for its simplicity, seamless integration with existing UICollectionView code, and customizable appearance, offering a native-like navigation enhancement without complex setup.

The scrubber allows users to pan and 'scrub' through UICollectionView sections, providing intuitive navigation as shown in the demo GIF where dragging moves the view.
It updates its position in sync with collection view scrolling, requiring only a call to updateScrubberPosition in scrollViewDidScroll, ensuring real-time feedback.
Developers can define section titles via the SectionScrubberDataSource protocol, enabling dynamic labeling based on data, as demonstrated in the usage example.
Available through CocoaPods and Carthage, with simple installation lines in the README, reducing setup overhead for iOS/tvOS projects.
The component exclusively works with UICollectionView, making it unsuitable for apps relying on UITableView or other UIKit elements without significant modification.
Setup involves adding multiple code snippets in viewDidLoad and scrollView delegate methods, which can be prone to errors and lacks a drop-in solution.
Only text color customization is explicitly mentioned in the README, lacking support for advanced styling like backgrounds, animations, or responsive layouts.
