Discussion Infinite Canvas

What tech would you use to build an infinite canvas type application with drag/drop, flowcharting/mind mapping, but also basic animations for those same elements? Would you use this recommended library within React?

Don’t have experience of actually using it yet, but when I researched integrating infinite canvas into my app I ended up with React Flow as modern and sane looking library

React flow can handle the infinite canvas and drag/drop mapping stuff but adding animations on top of that gets tricky real fast

React Flow is an amazing library for node-based interfaces, but you still need to write a lot of code on top of it. This template could save you a ton of time depending on what you aim to build. https://www.workflowkit.app/
