## What it is
An experimental React Native library providing a declarative API for building fluid, physics-based interactive views that run at 60 FPS. It uses a native driver to handle gesture-driven interactions like swipeable cards, drawers, and collapsible headers without crossing the JS bridge.

## Use cases
- build swipeable cards that spring into place in react native
- create a drawer that snaps open and closed with drag gestures
- implement a collapsible header that shrinks on scroll
- make draggable chat heads that snap to screen corners
- add physics-based gesture interactions to react native views at 60fps

## When to choose
- you need complex, physical gesture-driven interactions in React Native that feel natural at 60 FPS
- you want a declarative API for spring/friction-based view behavior
- you're building swipeable, snappable UI patterns like drawers or cards

## When to avoid
- the project is unmaintained and seeking a new maintainer
- you need a production-stable, actively supported solution
- you're not using React Native or only need simple animations (use the built-in Animated API)
- you're on the New Architecture where this experimental bridge-based approach may not apply
