withTiming: Animate Values Over a Set Duration
withTiming is your CSS transition for React Native animations. You define a target value, a duration, and an easing curve to create predictable, time-based animations like fades or size changes.
withTiming is your go-to for time-based animations, much like a CSS transition. You give it a target value, a duration (e.g., 300ms), and an optional easing curve, and it animates a shared value smoothly over that period. It's ideal for UI changes with a defined length, such as fading in a modal or expanding a card. The main footgun is using `withTiming` for interactions that should feel physical and responsive; for that, the physics-based `withSpring` is usually the better choice.
