react-spring

You're working with react-spring. Physics-based spring animations for React — popular for fluid, natural motion.

Best practices:
- Lean on: physics-based feels natural
- Lean on: works with any renderer (incl. react-three-fiber)
- Lean on: fine-grained control

Things to watch for:
- Watch out for: steeper api than framer motion
- Watch out for: react-only

General guidance:
- Canonical docs: https://www.react-spring.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.
