ScatteredToDrawerConvergence

Numerous small, distinct icons representing various applications or files rapidly converge and shrink into a central, larger container (a drawer).

+ Code construction recipe

Use `spring` for position and scale interpolation. Each icon's initial position is randomized within a defined area, and its final position is a specific point within the drawer. Apply a slight `delay` to each icon's animation for a 'falling into place' effect.

DrawerContentReveal

A drawer slides open, and a collection of related items (e.g., files, dashboards, AI agents) animate into view, arranging themselves neatly beside the open drawer.

+ Code construction recipe

Animate the drawer's `transform` (translateY) to open. For the content items, use `interpolate` for opacity and `spring` for position (translateX, translateY) as they appear from behind the drawer, fanning out into a grid or list.

TextFadeUp

Text appears by fading in and subtly moving upwards from below its final resting position.

+ Code construction recipe

Apply `interpolate` for `opacity` from 0 to 1 and `transform` (translateY) from a negative value (e.g., -10px) to 0. Use an `easeOutCubic` or `easeOutQuint` easing function for a smooth, gentle reveal.
