Building Arrive's Confetti in React Native with Reanimated - Shopify

What this post added

This post details the implementation of a cross-platform confetti effect for the Arrive app using React Native and Reanimated. It explains how to achieve native-level animation performance by driving animations declaratively from JavaScript, leveraging Reanimated's worklets. The implementation includes randomizing velocities, using `Animated.Value` and `Animated.Clock` for animation control, staggering animations with delays, implementing boundary containment with elasticity, and adding 3D rotation to the confetti particles. The post also highlights the benefits of Reanimated for creating complex, performant animations without resorting to native code for each platform.
