Figma to Lottie Animation via Lottielab

Hello HN! We're super proud to announce the launch of Lottielab's official Figma plugin. The plugin allows nearly 1:1 import of your Figma designs into Lottielab, an easy to use animation tool (still in beta---we launched 3 months ago!). From there, you can use Lottielab's animation powers to animate your designs intuitively and quickly. Then, you can export the animation as a Lottie JSON, or as an animated GIF or MP4. This plugin is the culmination of 3 months of hard work, and we hope you'll like it! Me and a few members of the team will be here to answer all of your questions.

Figma to Lottie Animation via Lottielab launched on December 5, 2023 with 10 votes, #1,052 of 3,780 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

In plain words

Lottielab's Figma plugin imports Figma designs directly into Lottielab, a beta animation tool that lets users create animations intuitively and export them as Lottie JSON, animated GIFs, or MP4 files. The plugin supports nearly 1:1 design transfer from Figma, enabling designers to animate their work quickly without manual recreation. It's aimed at designers and developers who need to create and export animations efficiently.

  • Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

  • Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
