## Description

Mobile-first-animation is a mobile web animation library and touch gesture animation toolkit designed to create fluid, gesture-driven animations and spring physics interactions. It provides a spring physics simulation engine that calculates realistic motion dynamics, responding naturally to user velocity and release points.

The library features a gesture-driven animation pipeline that binds raw touch input directly to animation drivers, alongside a declarative animation interpolation system that maps continuous touch coordinate ranges to visual style properties. It applies hardware-accelerated transform matrices directly to the layout layer and calculates motion via mathematical spring simulations.

Additionally, the project includes an interactive slide presentation framework that combines live component playgrounds with slide navigation to demonstrate real-time mobile physics and spring-based animation behaviors.
