Show HN: OpenAnimation – KMP app for exploring and editing Lottie animations

https://github.com/orispok/OpenAnimationApp
15•orispok•7h ago
I’ve been building OpenAnimation, a Kotlin Multiplatform app that lets you discover, view, and edit Lottie animations.

You can try it live here: https://openanimation.web.app

Source code is available here: https://github.com/orispok/OpenAnimationApp

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Looks cool! Will check it out more in depth on my laptop later :)

Excuse my ignorance, but are the animation yours or where are they fetched from?

orispok•4h ago
Thanks :), They’re mostly fetched from public sources via web scripts
valorzard•5h ago
Do you think that Lottie could (eventually) replace what Flash used to be?
orispok•4h ago
They’ve definitely become popular, since they’re lightweight and easy to integrate across platforms
virtualcharles•3h ago
Probably not from the bigger creative community point of view. Lottie feels too trapped in the “buy this saas product so your marketing team can sell your saas product to other saas product startups!” loop.
dlachausse•5h ago
How has Kotlin Multiplatform been to develop with? Is it ready for prime time yet or did you run into issues that required work arounds on non-Android platforms?
orispok•4h ago
There are a few small edges that still need workarounds, but mostly it works great and is improving really fast.
