react-motion VS Draft.js

React-Motion is an animation toolkit that makes building and implementing realistic animations much easier. However, React-Motion can be hard to grasp for beginners. But it has good documentation with rich examples to help developers.

React Motion is an animation library for React applications that makes realistic animations easier to build and implement.

Here's a comparison showing how the transition-hook bundle size compares to other React animation libraries: react-spring, framer-motion, react-motion, and react-move:

Framer Motion is a production ready animation library for React. I felt the need to add some "cool" animations to my portfolio so that it looks more alive and interactive. One can argue between choosing React Spring or React Motion but that depends on the use-case and since I've already worked with Framer motion before so I went with this.

React Motion

Thanks. Let me write some information concerning our ClojureScript frontend. We wanted to use physics-based animations using springs since only these animations make sense. Sadly the browser decided to only support silly animations which are described in terms of curves and durations. Spring animations are used on both MacOS and iOS and they look much better, since they have the natural feeling. Originally, we were using React Motion for them which would be fine for a small project. But running a lot of animations at the same time is very taxing since every frame of the animation has to go through React and all these layers. Therefore, I spent about 4 months completely rewriting most of our frontend code related to rendering and UI interactions within OrgPage. Unlike React Motion and probably any other spring-based animation library, we do not simulate these springs but instead analytically solve their differential equations. (Luckily I have a strong background in math.) I created the OrgPage https://orgpad.com/s/yRyR-GOU0Pm which summarizes math and my approach. Our animations code consists of about 5k lines of code where maybe 1k is the physics itself and computation of animation maps. The remaining 4k lines are low level controls where particular OrgPage elements are animated using requestAnimationFrame. We always calculate their new positions/sizes/etc. and apply DOM mutations, completely bypassing React, Reagent and Re-frame. There are a lot of clever optimizations to get the current speed. In upcoming months, I plan to investigate WebGL rendering which we could use to render larger parts of the documents, hopefully making everything even faster.

Also for comparison, here is a very small project that has 1600 issues, 1400 commits and 250 contributors and if I saw that you were a lead contributor on here on a resume I would think you have exposure to "small sized projects". https://github.com/facebookarchive/draft-js

Draft JS

Draft-js developed by Facebook, last update was over 2 years ago and it still got over 800k weekly downloads. I can't quite get it to work so I'm wondering if theres other good alternatives out there.

If you want to write the GUI code in Rust, you'd need something like Dioxus (which uses Tauri under the hood). But note that the Rust GUI ecosystem is still new, so I doubt we have something like Draft.js (a wysiwyg editor component for React). There's a lot of complexity involved in writing a text editor, and I'll suspect you'll have to handle a lot of that yourself.

How does this compare to Draft.js, another rich text editor created by Facebook?

To play around with it you can just go to https://draftjs.org/ and play with it in chrome dev tools.

I'm wondering how to align text in Draft.js just like on the picture below.
