Pretty slick, are you guys using the Spring animation framework?

@raulriera yes, it's be awesome to see what third party tools/libraries they used.

@tomfme · now is good.
@raulriera @applecider_ totally! Maybe a collection of products used to build the app? @rrhoover

@raulriera Hey Raul, the animations are done with native iOS code - keyframes, spring with damping, CA emitters etc. No external libraries / frameworks. It would actually be better if it was all done consistently with a proper animation library, and proper attention to timing, easing etc... Next time!

@raulriera @davidkmckinney maybe this is the old man in me coming out, but back in my day, our apps weren't so excessively animated ;)
I like when animation shows the relationship between two things, but feel like a lot of the sliding in and bouncing of elements in the PH app don't add much value. Might just be my personal preference though.
(if you did want to go all in on animations through, I love this demo from the Campus Quad app...hints at what a hyper-animated app future might look like)

@kaz Kaz I'm with you. While some users like all the bouncy stuff, I reckon it could do with a lot less animation over the whole app (it was one of those things that just got thrown in without any real attention). I think the easter egg animation is the animation that works the best :)
