Add motion-based texture to your SwiftUI views

Draw attention to important interface elements with .shiny(). Shiny uses your gyroscope to simulate lighting and motion effects on colors. It works on almost every native SwiftUI View. Try it on Text, Toggle, or a VStack. Just add .shiny() to get started!
