react-native-reanimated provides an API that greatly simplifies the process of creating smooth, powerful, and maintainable animations.

Reanimated uses React Native APIs that are incompatible with "Remote JS Debugging" for JavaScriptCore. To use a debugger with your app with react-native-reanimated, you'll need to use the Hermes JavaScript engine and the JavaScript Inspector for Hermes .
