Product HuntLottieFiles: Lightweight, scalable animations / Product HuntGrounded web searchReviewers largely see LottieFiles as a reliable, go-to source for ready-to-use animations, especially for web, UI, Canva, and Figma workflows. They praise the breadth of the library, frequent feature updates, easy sharing, and simple color customization that helps teams stay on brand and produce animations without deeper motion-design tools. The main complaints are about product clarity rather than capability: editing can feel confusing, the UX is described as sparse, and color controls and tool

It’s pretty annoying. Is anyone else experiencing those bugs? ☹ ... Hi

However, I have to agree the lottie creator is a major problem. My first thoughts was “this must have been rushed and their ironing out performance” because I recall seeing it in “beta” just months ago. However, based on the OP, this has been kicking around for over 3 years and I’m still reading a lot of complaints about browser crashes, freezing, incom
