Summary: I noticed that on my Mac M1 Flipper feels really sluggish in term of interactions compared to my Mac Pro. Started profiling and notices we have continously 60 reflows/sec and a very continous stream of DOM nodes allocations. This in turn is caused by our NUX elements, whose opacity anymation causes a reflow, which causes our interactive container (used for resizable sidebars etc) do to some calculations. This is quite noticeble in how fluent clicks etc are handled, as long as there are NUX-es open. Not sure why this doesn't feel as bad on Intel machines, but alas the effect is very clearly visible in the performance monitor. Or when dismissing all NUX-es, which drops the performance issue even in current builds. Disabling the opacity anymation and giving it a fixed value, fixes the issue as well, which is done in this diff.

flipper-plugin
flipper-plugin is the dependency used by all modern Flipper plugins (project "Tommy").
For background: https://fb.quip.com/YHOGAnaPqAVJ
flipper-plugin is to be used as dev and peer dependency of all Flipper plugins. It provides:
- (TODO) Standard API's to interact with Flipper, such as the client connection.
- (TODO) Standard components to organize the UI
- (TODO) Testing utilities
API's provided by flipper-plugin are documented at fbflipper.com (TODO).
There should normally be no need to install flipper-plugin as dependency.
Rather, plugins should be scaffolded using npx flipper-pkg init (TODO) as documented here
