💸 poor_text #

Text rendering for the broke and the bold.

poor_text is a Flutter widget that parodies RichText. It's the best worst way to render text in your app.

✨ Features #

• 🧑‍🎨 No rich styling: You get what you pay for.
• 🎨 Greyscale color by default: Color is a premium.
• 🔤 Random Google Fonts: We use the "forgotten" fonts.
• 🕰 Laggy rendering: For that slow, nostalgic effect.
• 🪛 Auto-shrink text: The longer your string, the tinier it becomes.
• 📄 Pretend rich text: HTML tags get stripped and mocked.
• 🧃 Fake PoorTextRich: Styled spans... except they're not.

🚀 Getting Started #

Install #

Add this to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  poor_text:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/ratulhasanruhan/poor_text.git

We're too broke for pub.flutter-io.cn. Git is cheaper.
