The library does respect the client-side reduce motion setting (by disabling all animated effects).

EDIT: OH MY GOD THAT IS A HUGE CHANGE!! On MacOS: Settings -> Accessibility -> Display -> Reduce Motion. I had no idea that was on. I like motion, I wouldn't have set this myself!

Original:

How does that make anything about this "physics-based"? I'm not being snarky, I'm genuinely trying to figure out what part of this is completely going over my head. I don't see any "soft-body physics" interactions, but maybe I don't understand what to look for.

I don't see any deformation or elastic collision physics, and those are usually the most obvious things that I associate with "soft bodies" in engineering/physics.

Oh, thanks for the hint. I actually don't like this - similarly to dark mode setting detection. But I guess thats more a criticism on the OS preferences not being granular enough.

I think you can respectfully disobey that for a demo.

Wow I actually like it just fine with motion reduced, but it's unbearable with full motion.
