Suggestion: deprecate this library in favor of moti #389

I think it's pretty obvious. Old API, not a really maintained library anymore, no REA2, not all attributes have native driver support etc, pretty decent issue counter.

No offense here, loved this library. Was the best one back in the days. But with rea2, web support etc. I think its time :)

Hey @Hirbod,

We have started using your library and so far so good, I love the fact it's powered by rea2 which is much better in terms of performance.

Although, I think the reason people reach for react-native-animatable is that it has a huge amount of preconfigured animation presets, something which I don't think Moti offers right?

I believe if Moti offered the same selection of preset animations as react-native-animatable then it would far surpass this library in terms of popularity. As when choosing a library sometimes you are just looking for something which can get you that fade animation as quick as possible.

Just something to think about 🤞
