What's the main different, and use case, for Animatable and AnimationState . I see the view pager in accompanist is using AnimationState and the docs say the advantage Animatable has over AnimationState is mutable exclusiveness of animation. Does anyone have any other insights?

The guide has a flow chart for exactly this: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/animation

Ah yes. I forgot about this. Thanks

The biggest difference is whether starting another animation cancels the previous animation, i.e. mutual exclusiveness between animations. Animatable cancels any on-going animations when animateTo /`snapTo` is called, whereas AnimationState is designed for one-shot animation use cases. Animatable uses AnimationState under the hood with additional animation lifecycle management and interruption handling.
