Why we recommend it
Unlike exported video or Lottie, Rive animations are stateful and interactive — they respond to input at runtime, which is what product motion actually needs.
Strengths
- Animations respond to real app state
- Tiny runtime file sizes
- Runtimes for web, iOS, Android and Flutter
Keep in mind
- State machine concepts take learning
- Requires developer integration
