Reanimated – gestures and micro-interactions
by Krzysztof Piaskowy & and Bartłomiej Błoniarz
Great interactions are a key-feature of many applications. Well-made gestures and animations are a powerful branding element that keep the users coming back. So don’t be afraid to sprinkle your app with subtle micro-interactions. This workshop will level up your Reanimated skills. You’ll dive deep into the concepts like: shared values, threading, interpolation, easings, gestures, Layout Animations, and Skia. By the end, you’ll have the skills to create animations that’ll make your users say, “Wow!”.
Krzysztof: React Native developer at Software Mansion, contributing to core projects like Hermes and Reanimated, with a passion for robotics and tackling the "impossible." Bartłomiej: Software Engineer and Reanimated Core Maintainer at Software Mansion, specializing in debugging and performance optimization.
