In many cases, "animations on the web" has become Lottie animations. Or, at least, Lottie raises the bar for animation expectations.

I'd love to see two things:

- A decent free or one-time payment editor for Lottie (don't make me use AfterEffects)

- Perhaps a Lottie implementation using Web Animations API, if that is even possible.

I've found that the baseline filesize (65.5kb gzipped) for Lottie makes it somewhat unsuited for "website" animations, though perhaps more suitable for apps.

In the past, when I've vetoed Lottie on this basis, designers have achieved decent results using SVGator instead.

I think the latter is possible and desirable especially as more browsers support SVG animation on the compositor. But Lottie animations are usually pretty big and this library focuses more on UI animations and small filesizes. Never say never though.

The lack of format documentation is an obstacle to both of those: https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-web/issues/575
