Animation tip: Use Rive for interactive character animations.
We've been using rive for our mobile app's character. It's pretty powerful, especially if your character has multiple cosmetic combinations. You can also control it directly from code.
It's also used by Duolingo!
How do you find time to build a side project while working a 9 to 5?
