Reanimated is already the default choice for a lot of serious animation work in React Native. In this interview, Bartłomiej Błoniarz talks through what is changing now, from the CSS-style API that feels more familiar to web developers to the push toward native primitives on iOS.
The conversation gets into Core Animation, the render server, shared element transitions, New Architecture stability, and why Reanimated is trying to keep both sides of the library intact: a simpler API for common animation patterns and worklets for cases where developers need more power.
