24 alternatives to The state of animation in React, introducing react-spring

Most you you will probably be familiar with react-motion and Facebooks animated (react-natives default). Both are practically go-to solutions in their respective fields, but do leave a lot to be desired. Animated interpolates everything and is fast, but misses essential primitives and can be troublesome to use due to its imperative nature. React-motion is declarative but can't interpolate and performs slower. After switching between the two for about a year i've decided to pick up where the two have left off: So this is react-spring: https://github.com/drcmda/react-spring…

    Hi! I made a React compatibility library for a Virtual DOM library (https://github.com/aidenybai/million). The idea is to have much faster rendering (a compiler optimizes virtual DOM beforehand) while ensuring the same developer experience React provides. This is very, VERY early stage, so be prepared for weird bugs / plugin incompatibility / etc. If you have any suggestions, I'd be more than happy if you replied in a comment with it! You can spin up the demo here >> https://stackblitz.com/github/aidenybai/million-react-compat

    Looking at websites such as Clerk, I began thinking that design engineers might be some kind of wizards. I wanted to understand how they do it, so I started reverse-engineering their components out of curiosity. One thing led to another, and I ended up building a small library of reusable, animated components based on what I found. The library is built in React and Framer Motion. I’d love to hear your feedback
