You know the effect - like ChatGPT's input field or Apple's Siri animation.</p> <p>The problem? Most approaches I found online were either:</p> <ul> <li>Laggy on budget phones (15-20fps)</li> <li>Didn't work well on Flutter Web</li> <li>Required a ton of boilerplate</li> </ul> <p>So I built my own solution from scratch.</p> <h2> Results </h2> <p>✅ Locked 60fps on budget Android devices<br> ✅ Works on iOS, Android, Web, Desktop<br> ✅ Single widget wrapper - minimal code<br> ✅ Auto-fallback for low-end devices</p> <p>I packaged it up since I'll be reusing it across projects. Happy to share if anyone's interested!</p> <p>Would love feedback from the Flutter community.</p> flutter dart uxdesign mobile
