Are Animated JSON and Lotties suitable in functional web development?
Lottie still has a lot of support (backed by Airbnb) and just got a big performance upgrade on iOS. However, there are competitors cropping up (like Rive) with the aim to be more lightweight and not tied to After Effects.

Binding Lottie (or any other Swift framework with UI) in MAUI
When I wrote my app which needed Lottie animations, I found LottieXamarin library, but that only works with Xamarin.Forms not with MAUI. I tried to update it, however I've run into multiple issues and at the same time I've realised only older Lottie versions can be binded, because from March of 2019, Lottie is a Swift library, which means it can't be binded easily.

Character animations like Duolingo in swiftui
It's probably made with Adobe AE or similar, and exported in Lottie format (SVG-data like + assets) to be loaded and rendered with the Lottie library for iOS (https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios) which I presume already comes with SwiftUI-compatible API.

I built this Lottie animation editor to edit Lottie animations without After Effects! If like me, you use Lottie animations as part of your iOS app UI but struggle with After Effects or implementation issues, would like to know what you think. Added a video in comments too :)
I think there might be one but not sure how up to date it is: https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios/tree/lottie/objectiveC
