Overview
The animate_to package enables smooth animations of widgets to a target widget by overlaying them temporarily. It's ideal for highlighting or guiding users to specific UI elements with dynamic transitions. The package supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it versatile for cross-platform applications.
