+## ⚠️ The package is deprecated and this repository is no longer maintained ⚠️
+
+As of June 2021, I, @marcaureln, have been maintaining this Flutter package initially created by @vanshg395. Regrettably, Vansh has been unresponsive, and I am unable to release new versions (the last release is 6 months old as of writing).
+
+Considering this, I recommend users to explore alternatives on [pub.dev](https://pub.dev/) or, if interested, fork this repository for continued support. Life can be hectic, and I wish Vansh is doing well.
+
+Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
