Springster is a Flutter/Dart package that simplifies the creation of spring animations and physics-based simulations. It provides an intuitive API for animating widgets with natural, bouncy motion using spring dynamics. Ideal for interactive UI elements like buttons, sliders, and gesture-driven components, it brings realistic movement to apps without complex code. Built with performance in mind, Springster supports all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
