Description

re this thread: https://mobile.twitter.com/sophiebits/status/1022973791356350464

We should improve our animation docs.

  • The current ones can be misleading since we don't actually recommend the components described within anymore.
  • It's not obvious how to tween a state value (as mentioned in the linked tweet). I think this should definitely be in our docs.
  • Probably mention CSS transitions/animations too.
  • Link to third-party libs like Pose maybe.

Research direction

Start with the current animation documentation and compare its recommendations with the issue's concerns. Review the guidance for tweening state values, CSS transitions and animations, and third-party libraries; done means the docs no longer recommend outdated components and clearly cover these topics.
