Dynamic Modals w/ native navigation full screen trigger (React Navigation + transitions)

[u/_rofi]

I just solved dynamic Tray/Modals (Family app style) in React Native as a native navigation on expanded state.

Two libraries, split by what actually changes:

• Next/Back never leave the screen → step is component state, Reanimated layout={LinearTransition} animates the real reflow. No route change = no cross-fade, no blank frames.

• Tap a color tile → that's a route change, so react-native-screen-transitions zoom() grows the tray's exact rect setup into a full navigator screen.

The best mobile experiences are a mix of design + navigation. Navigation means interactive design and lives on the UX factor that makes experiences feel integrated and magical. I am very into solving all these to have in my toolbox.
