React, Swift, and Lottie Just Became Obsolete: Meet ExodeUI

Every React team that's tried to use Lottie knows the frustration. ExodeUI is the first tool that treats React as a first-class citizen — because it was built by a developer who felt the same pain.

React + Lottie = Complexity

Every React team that has integrated Lottie knows the pattern: add the runtime, write a wrapper component, manage the lifecycle, sync application state with animation state. It works, but it adds complexity that compounds with every component.

ExodeUI eliminates this. The component IS the state machine. Your React state and your component's visual state are one and the same — because ExodeUI compiles to React hooks.

Bundle Size Reality

Lottie's runtime adds significant weight to your bundle. For a typical landing page with animations, Lottie can add 100KB+ gzipped. ExodeUI's runtime is a few KB — because it renders native DOM elements rather than canvas.

For Indian users on limited data plans, this difference matters. Faster loads, lower data costs, better experience — all from a tool swap.

The React Developer Experience

With Lottie, React developers spend time writing glue code. With ExodeUI, they spend time building features. The exported component uses familiar React patterns — hooks, props, callbacks — so any React developer can understand and modify it without training.

This matters for Indian startups where developer time is the most expensive resource. Every hour spent wiring Lottie is an hour not spent on product.

Join the Movement

Hundreds of Indian teams have already switched from Lottie to ExodeUI. They're building faster, shipping more, and paying less. Start your migration today.
