[FEATURE] Layout Projection for Vanilla JS!?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hi Motion community!
Hello Matt Perry!

I'm Charles, sophomore student at Northeastern University, open-source enthusiast!
I'm not a React developer, but I'm a really huge fan of Framer Motion, especially the part about original fascinating Layout Projection technique! I love it so much that I almost changed my framework to React solely because I really wanted to use Framer Motion.

However, eventually I decided to get myself some challenge by diving into how Layout Projection really works and trying to port this technology to Vanilla JS. And that is how this https://github.com/Char2sGu/layout-projection project comes from! This project is a rough implementation of Layout Projection, which works, although not as good as Framer Motion, and currently serves as underlying animation engine powering my favourite project Reply: https://reply.char2s.dev/.

I just surprisingly noticed that framer.com/motion is now motion.dev, and it seems like motion.dev aims to be an animation library that faces both React and Vanilla JS ecosystems!
I was just curious if it is planned for motion.dev to implement Layout Projection for Vanilla JS? If that is the plan, I would really love to help with that! I have experience developing various open-source libraries, and making Layout Projection available for everyone is also one of my biggest goals!

FAQs

Does Motion support Preact?

It might work with Preact, but we don't explicitly support it, so if it does currently work you'd be using it at your own risk.
