Show HN: OpenAnimation – KMP app for exploring and editing Lottie animations
I’ve been building OpenAnimation, a Kotlin Multiplatform app that lets you discover, view, and edit Lottie animations.
You can try it live here:

Source code is available here:

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
- Crowberry 1y agoLooks 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 1y agoThanks :), They’re mostly fetched from public sources via web scripts
- valorzard 1y agoDo you think that Lottie could (eventually) replace what Flash used to be?
- orispok 1y agoThey’ve definitely become popular, since they’re lightweight and easy to integrate across platforms
- virtualcharles 1y agoProbably 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.
- orispok 1y agoI 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.
- _mlbt 1y agoHow 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 1y agoThere are a few small edges that still need workarounds, but mostly it works great and is improving really fast.
- armitage__ 1y agoWhere are the Lottie animations coming from? Did you scrape them from other sites? I'm not seeing much info about authors of the animations.
