Getting Started
To get started, download the 10.chain sketch file, head to ProtoPie and create a new document. Change the device to iPad (768 x 1024). Lastly, import the file from Sketch @2x.
Drag
Select the first card and create a Drag by clicking on the Add Trigger button. Then select Move. This will enable you to drag the card, you can also restrict this to horizontal, so it only drags left and right.
Chain
Chain detects the property pf a layer and then uses that property to set a range of values to apply to the animation. To apply Chain, select the first card and choose the Chain option.
3D Rotate
The next step is to add 3D rotate, the range of values is going to be equal to the size of the art board i.e. from 0 to 768. The range of values will be translated into value for the 3D rotate angle.
At position 0, set it to an angle of -30.
At position 768, set it to an angle of 30.
To keep it from skewing to the left, make sure to set the origin of the card to the middle. Repeat the process for the other 2 cards.
Move
The next step is to be able to move the cards when you're dragging. Select Card 2 and add Move.
Set the x position from 0 to 768.
Set off-set to 68.
The end value would be 68 subtracted from 768, which is 700.
Follow the same steps for card three, set off-set to 68*2 i.e 136 and the end value would be 136 subtracted from 768, which is 632.
Touch
The next step is to add the touch response. In order to do that, select the first card, choose Touch Down and add Scale. Set the scale to a factor of 90%. Do the same for the other 2 cards.
Spring Animation
To add the spring animation, select the Scale of all three card and choose Spring from the Easing drop-down. To add delay, press shift + right arrow once on the second card and shift + right arrow twice on the third card. The last step is to reset animation when you release, to achieve that, select card one and choose the Touch Up option, copy & paste the scale for all the cards from the Touch Down trigger and set the scale to a factor of 100%.

React Native for Designers Part 2
React Native is a popular Javascript framework that builds on top of React by using native components to create a real mobile app indistinguishable from one made using Xcode or Android Studio. The main difference with native development is that you get to use CSS, hot-reload, Javascript and other familiar techniques that the Web has grown over the past decades. Most importantly, you're building for both iOS and Android using the same codebase.
