A jetpack compose shimmer effect modifier library

You don't need to mark modifier factories as `@Composable` when you use the `Modifier.composed {}` builder

being able to omit that and construct modifiers that require composition _outside_ of composition is part of the point of `composed {}` :slightly_smiling_face:

Oh, thank you, I forgot to remove that after I update to `composed{}` :sweat_smile:

I spent part of the morning doing the same updates to my own code :smile:

<@UQWSL0M6V> Is the `saveLayer()` necessary?

<@U3JQ35YQK>
Yeah, the result without it:

you could try to just draw an alpha gradient with a multiply or add blend mode

But yeah if you want to fade out the base content you'll need the layer unfortunately

Yeah, unfortunately, for fade out the base, I need that :disappointed:

<@U3JQ35YQK>
There isn't any saveLayer in the CanvasScope,  and it handles expensive tasks like allocating `Paint` it self. The draw functions of it accept a `blendMode` and we can pass any blendMode to it.
So maybe, it should also handle the expensive saveLayer it self some how :thinking_face::thinking_face: like what you did with Paint. (I'm not sure just the idea came to my mind after you asked about the saveLayer)

Well saveLayer is expensive not matter who executes it

Moving it to CanvasScope wouldn't change anything 

Yeah, I was thinking about preventing unnecessary saveLayers. but I don't think it's possible by the way.
