Pretty interesting to see view transitions in the React Native 0.86-RC release notes. Probably experimental but more animation primitives are always welcome.

The strongest benefit of the Animation Backend is that it makes it possible to test the prop update/reconciliation pipeline on the RN side.
This gives us much stronger stability guarantees, and allows us to build optimizations straight into the framework.
The most performance critical part of Reanimated engine is now moving to the RN core. This way unlocking new possibilities and optimizations that wouldn't be possible from a third-party library perspective. Great work @BBloniarz_ and team!
@Danny_H_W@reactnative@kacperkapusciak@Danny_H_W Yes! With the shared backend enabled, more props (including layout/flexbox props) can be animated with the native driver. We're going to remove the limitation on the JS side so RN won't throw an error when you use them.
@rickyfm@birch_js That is true! Although if neighboring components are animated on main thread, intermediate states won't always trigger yoga re-layout, so text can't reflow in sync. I imagine a pretext-like API running in main thread worklet (which Reanimated has) can help with this
I’ve been working from a NYC 1BR for 3.5 years now. During this time, I’ve lead projects with 3-30 people involved, often needing lots of discussion, prototyping together and visual communication. it’s difficult. Here are some things I wish I’d been told:
Check. This. Out!

In honour of the AT finale getting nominated for an Emmy, here's some headcanon that I've been holding onto for a while.
I had the idea that when Jake eventually passes away he'd start growing uncontrollably, sort of like how a dead body can let go of its bowels.
