Overview
likk_picker is a Flutter package that provides a customizable image picker with integration for both camera and gallery access, inspired by Facebook Messenger's media selection interface. Built on top of the Photo Manager library, it enables users to select and manage images from local storage or capture new ones directly through the device camera. The package supports custom UI components, making it ideal for apps requiring a polished, native-like media selection experience.
