Can you feel the difference?
There's a reason why some apps feel magical while others feel like a prototype.
A key difference? Animations.
Not just any animations—the kind that respond naturally to touch, that overshoot and settle like real objects, that make users say "this feels good" without knowing why.
The course covers everything about React Native animations. Starting from spring physics and gesture handling to Skia canvas and shaders.
Try these interactive demos:
From animated-path: the graph morphs using usePathInterpolation.
What you'll learn
17 tutorials with video walkthroughs, written guides, and interactive demos. From bouncing squares to shader transitions.
Foundation
Start with the building blocks. Shared values, withTiming, withSpring—the fundamentals that everything else builds on.
Gestures
Make your UI respond to touch. Pan gestures, tap gestures, and the subtle art of making interactions feel right.
Scroll & Layout
Parallax effects, scroll-driven animations, and layout transitions that make content flow naturally.
Skia & Shaders
Go beyond basic transforms. Custom paths, gradients, canvas drawing, and shader-based transitions.

Feedback from the community.
Our whole team learned animation basics with your tutorials of Reanimated and Gesture Handler, you did an amazing job, thank you for that 🙏

Incredible tutorial 🙌🏼 Love the format. Seeing Skia being used so skillfully is incredibly motivating for us going forward. Let's put the pedal to the metal.

This is cool. I’ve seen a lot of people try to recreate our tray system and get fairly close. At this point though, maybe we should just consider open sourcing ours.

It feels like every month someone is coming out with 2D animation demos that push the limits of what we thought was possible in React Native. One of my favorites is this one from Enzo Manuel Mangano (@reactiive_).

This is probably the best, most up to date content for you to learn to animate your react native apps. The PoW @reactiive_ has put in place before this course is massive. Thread below shows a good preview of what you get.

I'm a Design Engineer who's been teaching React Native animations on YouTube for years. I've spoken about animations at App.js and React Native London.
My teaching style is slow and deliberate. Every tutorial starts from scratch—a blank file—and builds up step by step. No magic, no skipping ahead. Just the process of creating something that feels right.
This course is everything I know about React Native animations, organized into a clear path from basics to advanced techniques.
