Progressive Web Animations
summary
Claim: React web apps can match native mobile UI fluidity if animations use direct-manipulation patterns, interruptible springs, and browser-friendly gesture handling. Examples include three swipe-to-dismiss demos and an Apple Music–style drawer that initially jams on a mid‑range Nokia 6 but, after using react-spring and react-use-gesture, touch-action/hysteresis and avoiding costly re-renders, reaches 60fps and cuts input latency from ~200ms to ~60ms. Tools shown: framer motion, react-swipeable, animejs, hammerjs, Chrome DevTools and create-react-app.
