Windless
A Swift library for implementing invisible layout loading views with shimmer animations on iOS.
What is Windless?
Windless is a Swift library for iOS that creates invisible layout loading views, also known as skeleton screens. It displays animated placeholders that match the structure of your UI components while content is loading, providing a smoother user experience compared to traditional spinners. The library helps reduce perceived latency by showing a preview of the layout during data fetching.
iOS developers building apps that require loading states, particularly those focused on improving user experience during network requests or data processing. It's ideal for developers working with UITableView, UICollectionView, or custom UI layouts.
Developers choose Windless for its seamless integration with existing UI components, customizable shimmer animations, and ability to create loading screens that visually match the final content. It eliminates the need to design separate loading UIs and works with both code and Interface Builder.
