dnd-sync VS Lottie for Android, iOS, and React Native

DNDSync

There is no working way to sync settings like dnd etc. between phones and smartwatches of different brands, and this project aims to fix that. I originally used this project on GitHub, however it did not work for me, and so this project was created. Also note that although the project is named galaxy watch, it will work across all anroid devices and wearos watches as long as they support the requirements.

Some of you might refer to this GitHub: https://github.com/rhaeus/dnd-sync

A quick Google search led me to the dnd-sync app by rhaeus on GitHub, which I found to be fabulous. However, I missed one feature - the ability to turn on Bedtime mode on my watch only when it was turned on my phone. In the original app, the only option available was to sync the DND mode with the phone and turn on Bedtime mode on watch along with it. I wanted a separate option to sync Bedtime mode with the watch only when my phone's Bedtime mode was activated.

The official way is to use a Samsung phone unfortunately. However the hacky way (the one I am using and works perfectly) is DNDSync. There is not battery drain and I have been using it for 4 months now DNDSync

Here are the DND Instructions

Worth mentioning that After Effects can export CSS/SVG/canvas animations with the free bodymovin/Lottie plugin. This is my personal go to for creating web key frame animations and elements.

Not every after effects feature is exportable, but it’s the best and most reliable solution I’ve found for this type of workflow, maybe due in part though to my previous experience with AE.

A smooth and visually appealing on-boarding experience can greatly impact how users perceive the quality of your app. In my previous article, we explored how to create custom splash screens on Fire TV apps to optimize the startup time and improve user experience. Building on that knowledge we will take a step further and learn how to develop an animated splash screen using Lottie for Fire TV applications.

I'd suggest Lottie with a JSON animation file

Lottie[1], an Adobe After Effects plugin, fills a gap in vector animation authoring and is quite widely used (primarily in mobile applications but also works on the web, Discord for example supports them for stickers).

It's a pity SVG animation authoring tools never eventuated since it's an underutilized native format.

Unity can export to WebGL/WASM, so that's one option if you're making some kind of heavy interactive experience and you don't mind waiting for it to load. For just animations there are tools like Lottie that can help. I think things are generally a lot more fragmented than they were in the Flash/Shockwave days though.
