👀 You can get a 25% discount today with the code “TODAY25” on my animations course. More info in the thread below 🧵

1. The course offers ~10 hours of tutorials on mastering Reanimated, Gesture Handler, and React Native Skia. All the animations built in the course are meant to be educational and to explain specific primitives. It’s about the process, not about the product.

2. The videos were recorded using Reanimated v3, but all of them are supported in Reanimated v4, and the code is maintained with the latest Expo SDK (currently v54)

4. Written content: The course includes tutorials and a short written section for each video (including the chapters). However, I believe that adding interactive previews could make it more valuable, and I plan to include more of them.

5. Why do we need specific animations? The course dives deep into how to tackle common animation patterns, although there is still significant potential to better explain why and where certain animations are needed.

6. Easing and Springs: I prioritized core principles over details in the tutorials. But with AI simplifying how animations are built, understanding how to prototype the right animation curve is more essential than ever for achieving great results.
