Status of the LayoutAnimation Translate Property

[sgehly]

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

I'm curious about the status of LayoutAnimation's translate property, and what the technical challenges are that block it from being a part of the current implementation.

Describe a solution you'd like

It'd be awesome to put this back on the radar, and I'd certainly be interested in taking a look at implementing it if I have the capability once I have an understanding of why it's not as straightforward as the other properties (if it isn't).

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'm not clear if other libraries solve this problem when used with react-native-web, or if I can abstract LayoutAnimation to use a different dedicated React library on the web. If there are alternatives I'd love some pointers.

Additional context

Feel free to take a look, I haven't worked on LayoutAnimation at all and don't plan to

Should this feature maybe be removed from React Native if no one can get it to work and no one wants to work on it?

@danielstern I've been able to get it work (with very sloppy code and probably not the best design decisions, I was solely focused on getting it to work) with react-native-web. If there's interest I can push it to the fork I have, but I don't have the bandwidth currently to get the implementation to match the React Native API.
