motion and layout arc transitions

[lochie]

I've been wondering if the current animation calculation setup could support adding a curve/arc feature or if this was on a roadmap.

I figured since it's just a → b values it could be possible. I've been looking through the codebase to figure out where all this is calculated but I can't seem to find the entry points. @mattgperry if you can point me in the direction I could look into it (if it's a feature you'd like).

Just to clarify, you are talking about layout animations, and rather than moving from one layout box to another in a straight line, to add the ability to move along an arc?

@lochie whats this screenshot from? Looks interesting

research paper on UI animation from 1993 that caused apple to add animations into macOS. good read.

@mattgperry been thinking more about this. I have a few different ideas on how to make the DX cleaner. I can help create some use-case examples as well for the docs.

Just would like some confirmation if this is a feature you're interested in or not for this library. If yes I'll keep moving forward

Yeah I’m up for this! As long as we can keep extra bundle size down (in which case rather than props we can pass in functions). I think it looks great
