Overview
A Flutter package designed to simplify the process of paginating data from Firestore. It provides a streamlined way to load large datasets incrementally, improving performance and user experience by fetching only the necessary data at a time. Built specifically for Firebase integration, it handles pagination logic such as cursor-based or limit-offset loading with minimal boilerplate. Ideal for lists, feeds, or any scenario requiring efficient data streaming from Firestore.
