Demystifying complex animations creation process in React Native
summary
Claims a practical workflow: break complex animation into layers (micro‑interactions, action‑driven transitions, scroll/gesture-driven pieces), implement with react-navigation-fluid-transitions for shared element transitions, use Animated.interpolate and animated.event for a horizontal parallax pager with paging and throttling, and prefer reanimated + gesture-handler for native drag performance. Notes Lottie works but about half of exported JSONs cause size or export errors. Shows demos that compose these parts and reduces cognitive friction when decomposed.
