Ah apologises I just wanted to reduce the number of "off ramps" and as the other comment says, I am sort of assuming that people might be familiar with them but indeed they might be more fitting to your project (Popmotion if you want very low-level JS animations that just outputs values and Framer Motion if you want a high level React library that handles gestures and layout animations)

But hezags comment below has kindly provided the links.
