Lottie VS public-apis

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.

Lottie - After Effects vector animations

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.

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.

The HN thread also mentions Lottie from AirBnB and IconVG from Not-an-official-Google-product.

Lottie for Web, Android, iOS, React Native, and Windows

I think there might be one but not sure how up to date it is: https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios/tree/lottie/objectiveC

If you can use After effects or some plugin to translate the PNG sequence to a Lottie JSON file, you can setup https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios in your project and should be pretty straight forward from there. If not, maybe translate it to a GIF file. Last option, if the animation is simple it can be simple to recreate it using UIBezierPaths.

Public-Apis Github Repo — A list of free public APIs.

Interesting thread at https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis/issues/3104

Use curl to access a free public API and get a random joke, cat fact, or whatever.

I remember the forking of https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and the long git issue discussions. The company owning the repository stopped maintaining it but didn't give up control either. Over the years you've put in a lot of work in publicapis.dev and that is much appreciated.

Also, that isn't really a list of "contributors", but of "organisations with the most stars". Those are different things.

For example "public-apis"[1] didn't "contribute" anything as that's not a person, and looking at GitHub[2] there are a bunch of substantial contributors (the person who created the organisation/repo only has 12 commits by the way);
