How to make your app feel 10x better in 5 minutes.

Animations.

Not everywhere.

Just in the right moments.

When a user:

→ achieves something

→ completes an action

→ gets a result

Those moments matter the most. That’s where you want to give a small mental reward. And that’s where tools like Lottie come in.

It’s an open-source animation format originally created by Airbnb. You basically:

→ download a small JSON file

→ plug it into your app

→ and you instantly have smooth animations

Works on iOS, Android, web… pretty much everywhere.

No need for complex 2D animation tools. No need to hire a designer for every small interaction. Just add a subtle animation at the right time, and suddenly your app feels alive. We’ve been adding this into Votap recently and it makes a huge difference.

Download Votap from the App Store if you want to follow along.

More tomorrow.
