Interesting package that allows for audio recording and playback. It's notable for its ability to generate audio waveforms and finely adjust their display. Additionally, it's possible to configure bitrate, encoding, sampling frequency, and so on.

Playback/recording controllers come with a plethora of controls for start/stop/rewind functions. There are also various events to which one can react, such as data extraction progress for waveform generation, duration changes, and much more.

I love animations very much, but sometimes making them look "beautiful" requires a significant amount of time.

That's why I want to share a set of packages that can speed up this process:

👉🏻 animations - pre-built animations from Flutter team

👉🏻 animate_to - moves a widget from point A to point B using Overlay

👉🏻 animate_do - a collection of various ready-made animation wrappers for widgets

👉🏻 flutter_animate - similar to animate_do, but with its own features (animation synchronization with scrolling, use of shaders, etc.)

👉🏻 auto_animated - enables animating the appearance of widgets in lists

👉🏻 smooth_page_indicator - cool variations of PageView indicator animations

👉🏻 funvas - animations directly on Canvas based on mathematical functions with a cool demo

👉🏻 flutter_shaders - a utility package that simplifies working with shaders

Share packages and/or techniques that you think might also be useful in the comments 🫡
