🚀 New: Batch & Progressive Loading (vNEXT)

Smarter, User-Friendly GIF Loading

This release introduces a modern loading experience:

• Batch Loading: Only visible GIFs are loaded/rendered, reducing network and memory usage. Off-screen GIFs are loaded as you scroll.
• Progressive Loading: While a GIF loads, a blurred static thumbnail (if available) is shown, then swapped for the full GIF when ready—just like YouTube thumbnails!
• Custom Loading/Failed Widgets: You can pass your own widgets to display while loading or on error, for a fully branded experience.

Example: Custom Loading/Failed Widgets

GiphyTabDetail(
  type: GiphyType.gifs,
  scrollController: myController,
  loadingWidget: MyCustomLoadingWidget(),
  failedWidget: MyCustomFailedWidget(),
)

How it works

• The grid uses a lazy builder, so only visible GIFs are loaded.
• Each GIF first shows a blurred static image (if available) as a placeholder, then swaps in the full GIF when loaded.
• This keeps users confident that something is happening, even on slow networks.

See the documentation in GiphyTabDetail and GiphyGifWidget for more details.
