Overview
Progressive blur is an experimental Flutter package that enables smooth, incremental blurring of images, enhancing visual transitions and performance during image loading. It applies blur progressively as the image loads, reducing visual jarring and improving perceived responsiveness. Designed for use in image-heavy applications, it supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. The package leverages Flutter's rendering pipeline to deliver efficient, real-time blur effects with minimal overhead. Ideal for splash screens, image galleries, and dynamic UIs where visual continuity matters.
