preevy VS framer/motion

Feel free to star the Preevy repo here.

We at Livecycle, a Docker-centric company, are super excited to share some highlights from the event and discuss how we are developing our products, Livecycle Docker Extension and Preevy, to improve collaboration, feedback, etc., in the vision that Docker is moving with their recent development and announcement at DockerCon.

To learn more about how to use Preevy, just check out the docs site.

Historically, many developers have preferred to facilitate this type of collaboration with ephemeral preview environments that are triggered with every PR or commit. And indeed, we have built robust solutions like “Preevy” to facilitate the creation of these environments for dockerized applications on any cloud or Kubernetes cluster.

Preevy also integrates into your CI pipeline to convert your pull requests into easily shareable ephemeral environments

My typical day is filled with a couple of meetings, building the Lifecycle community on Slack, collaborating with projects and people, and creating strategies and content (videos, blogs, short forms for Twitter and LinkedIn) around the product to increase adoption. I heavily focus on the company’s Open Source offering called Preevy which helps create a preview environment using Docker Compose underneath.

Also, at Livecycle, we are building Preevy, which helps you create a preview environment for Docker Compose applications. Do check out https://github.com/livecycle/preevy. It's open source, and don't forget to leave a star to show your support.

About “Preevy” - an open source tool that simplifies the creation of preview environments

The two most popular choices now (circa Jan 2024) are React Transition Group, started in 2016, and Framer Motion, started in 2018. I'm not too familiar with the former, so this article solely dives into the workings of AnimatePresence from Framer Motion and how it's able to enable exit animations.

Install Framer Motion with npm install framer-motion.

At this point, I was already using a tilt component (react-parallax-tilt) in my portfolio, and after checking this page I had the general idea of how it should be done, a container with transform-style: preserve-3d, with two children, one tilt and the other an image, both having backface-visibility: hidden and the tilt being rotated to face backward at the start. For the animation, I decided to use framer-motion because I was already familiar with it and knew it had what was needed to get the job done (and I'm glad I did because later I needed to await the animation and it was easy with framer-motion).

Two of the most popular animation libraries for React include React Spring [26.1k+ GitHub stars] and Framer Motion [19.6k+ GitHub stars], but there are many to choose from. Arafat Islam has a great list of animation libraries here.

Why should you consider using Framer Motion in your React project? Framer Motion is a fairly popular and actively maintained library, with 19k stars on GitHub, and plenty of resources to support it.

Framer Motion has over 18,000 GitHub stars and 2.2M weekly NPM downloads.
