> I really wonder why Facebooks own react-native-animated, which also works for regular React isn't more popular It seems like it's because there's been zero documentation on it? How am I supposed to find out about this library and that it can be used in regular React? When I search for "react animated" the only official docs I get are https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/animation.html https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/animation.html, which are now deprecated and have no relation to react-native-animated. The official documentation for react-native-animated at https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/animated.html https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/animated.html don't mention anything about web components (eg. Animated.div) -- they only mention native components: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/animated.html#animatable-components https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/animated.html#a... So I guess my questions are: how do I find out about regular, official React libraries like this? And how do I know this isn't an internal library that won't be changed at some point?

"Usage (Still Theoretical)" [1] in the readme doesn't sound like it's currently deemed ready for wide adoption. [1] https://github.com/animatedjs/animated#usage-still-theoretical https://github.com/animatedjs/animated#usage-still-theoretic...

https://github.com/animatedjs/animated https://github.com/animatedjs/animated not talked about a lot until things become more stable.

Yes, that's a shame. Facebook isn't currently pushing it, and who knows they might just abandon it. I don't understand it though, given that animated is such a boon for react-native users and this would only increase shareable code. It also plays in another ballpark compared to its competition. In the webpackbin it demonstrates the use if you want to test it. You install it with: npm install animated --save
