wake up babe, new animation library from airbnb just dropped

Airbnb’s new icons aren’t Lotties or Rive - they built a completely new media format for videos with transparent bg. Insane!

I hope they open source it, maintaining the cross-browser alpha-channel video compatibility has always been a pain in the a*s

Looks like it's basically a way to optimally play back any arbitrary sequence of high-quality rasterized images?

@rennesis I have a question! How is it different from Rive and Lottie ? I've been using Lottie for quite some time and have never faced any resource or performance issues in my apps. How is this better than Lottie or Rive?

@mabud_tech Rive/Lottie works with vector mostly. It's possible to load raster image sequences there, but:

1) They won't be controllable/interactive, the sequence can only play frame after frame (linear). Airbnb's new solution allows to have this sequence and conrtol some parts of it with

yeah, the biggest thing for me is being able to control parts of the sequence

like in the video I attached to the OC which has two ending sequences: payment accepted and payment declined

Oh cool, so it's like a spritesheet but for ranges of time.
