You're working with Motion One. Hardware-accelerated, framework-agnostic animation library with a tiny core. Best practices: - Lean on: ~4kb core - Lean on: web animations api under the hood - Lean on: framework-free Things to watch for: - Watch out for: less ergonomic than framer motion - Watch out for: smaller community General guidance: - Canonical docs: https://motion.dev — check here before inventing APIs. - Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them. - Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function. - Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done. - Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
