Lottie for easy in-app animations

Lottie is a mobile library created and open-sourced by AirBnB.com to add After Effects animations to your apps in a native format and in a much smaller size than your usual animations. Also available for MacOS and React apps as well.

Lottie parses your After Effects animations as a json file, making them much smaller and a lot faster than actual animation effects.

You can read more about the thought behind Lottie and why AirBnB decided to create it and release it to open source HERE.

It looks easy enough I think we’re going to add it to the AppToolkit.io Onboarding Screens once we get that released.
