Overview
HoldableButton is a Flutter package that allows developers to implement buttons with a hold gesture. When pressed and held, the button triggers a loading animation around its perimeter, providing visual feedback during prolonged interactions. It supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, making it ideal for interactive UIs requiring tactile feedback. The plugin is lightweight and easy to integrate, enhancing user experience in forms, confirmations, or actions that require deliberate input.
