a draggable profile image with smooth spring physics using Framer Motion's useMotionValue and useSpring hooks.
key insight: using useMotionValue for base position values, useSpring for smooth physics, and dragConstraints to limit drag area. the placeholder appears during drag/animation states to maintain layout stability.
combines drag, whileDrag, onDragStart/End with spring physics for natural feel. the setTimeout ensures placeholder visibility matches spring animation duration.
