Release v1.1.2 - Shimmer Loading Effect

New Features

Shimmer Loading Animation

Added a beautiful skeleton loading animation that displays while fetching contribution data:

  • User Card Skeleton - Animated placeholder for avatar, username, and contribution count
  • Contribution Graph Skeleton - Animated grid placeholder matching the contribution graph layout
  • GitHub Dark Theme - Shimmer colors match the app's dark theme aesthetic
  • Smooth Transitions - Seamless transition from skeleton to actual content

What You'll See

When the app loads or when you save new credentials, you'll see an animated shimmer effect on:

  • The user profile card (avatar, name, contribution count)
  • The contribution graph (grid cells and legend)

The shimmer provides visual feedback that data is being loaded, improving the perceived performance of the app.

Technical Changes

  • Added shimmer package (v3.0.0) for loading animations
  • Created reusable shimmer skeleton widgets
  • Integrated shimmer into the home screen loading state

Compatibility

  • Android 5.0+ (API 21+)
  • Existing users: Update seamlessly - no reconfiguration needed

Installation

  1. Download gitgraph-v1.1.2.apk
  2. Install the APK
  3. Your existing configuration will be preserved
