Pinterest Splash Screen Animation with Rive
Hello internet, Ever since I've started learning SwiftUI I've been fascinated with the thought of building my ideas closely to what the real product would look like. Since I'm a Product Designer / Design Engineer hybrid, I've tried every workflow possible pre-SwiftUI.
I also wanted to build confidence in building my favourite apps; pinterest is one of them. Trust me, I'm a SwiftUI purist when it comes to the animations/micro-interactions, but this was taking too much time, and I wasn't even close. Another skill set of mine is that I'm a king of interactions, so I've realised doing this in Rive would be interesting to see, and I was able to achieve everything in under 30 mins with the creation of the assets to the animations.
The reason I'm sharing this with you is that I know that some of you really want to try out animations but find it hard. Trust me, Rive animations work on almost all the same logic as SwiftUI but with better control and faster iterations. I've also shared the code of the project down below, which includes the rive file.
If you like the project, do give it a star. I would really appreciate it. Cheers!
