check out my casual side-project lottieeditor.com
it's going to be an editor fully dedicated to the Lottie file format
I've set up a discord dedicated to the project here: discord.gg/56XxX8NWnK
whenever people talk about "shipping speed" they focus on 0 to 1
but what actually matters is how fast the team is still shipping a year into the project
this is why everyone seems like they "ship fast" but nothing actually seems to be getting done
one of the tests i run regularly when working on lottieeditor.com is running hundreds of import/exports for every change i make
importing then exporting without changing anything should always result in the exact same lottie animation

i got bitten by trying to apply a stroke to a variable font
the technique i ended up with is applying a stroke and then removing the inside by using the same text with a fill as a mask "cutting" out the inside
the animation code is way too verbose.. i'd hate to come back to this myself in a few weeks or even days
this is the per-line transform.
that scale(0.99999) is the "non-glitchy text trick".
