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?

Thanks :), They’re mostly fetched from public sources via web scripts

Do you think that Lottie could (eventually) replace what Flash used to be?

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.

I get your point, but Lottie is widely spread now, and I hope OpenAnimation can help bring it from mainly commercial use to all developers and creators.

They’ve definitely become popular, since they’re lightweight and easy to integrate across platforms

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?

There are a few small edges that still need workarounds, but mostly it works great and is improving really fast.
