I've been working on a small project called Blockies Animate, trying to make UI animations in React a bit less painful, and in the process, I realized how tricky even "simple" animations can get.

From over-engineered libraries to CSS that breaks layouts, sometimes it feels like you need a PhD just to fade in a div

So I m genuinely curious:

• What s been your biggest frustration when adding animations to your app?

• What tools or tricks (if any) have made it easier for you?

• Do you still add motion to your UI or skip it to keep things moving?
