A while ago I took some time to remake this from scratch to figure out just exactly how it worked. It turns out it uses a technique called FLIP, and in this new post, we go over exactly what it is and how you might implement it in React.

I also wrote a brief summary over on Twitter, if that's more of your thing: https://twitter.com/nandafyi/status/1592295412148637696

Hope you enjoy it! As always, let me know what you think.

Cheers, Nanda
