A few months back I contributed a fix to react-bits, an open source library of animated React components.
The bug was subtle — enableMagnetism and enableTilt animations had a 300ms delay because the component used transition-all in its base CSS class. This caused GSAP transform animations to fight against the CSS transition, creating a noticeable lag.
The fix was straightforward: swap transition-all for transition-colors. This lets GSAP control transforms freely while CSS still handles color-related properties like borders and shadows smoothly.
Small change, big difference in feel.
