Popkorn provides a portable, CSS-based alternative to Lottie and Rive for interactive motion graphics. Developers write animation scenes declaratively in CSS that can run on both web browsers and native mobile platforms from the same source file. It is aimed at frontend and mobile developers seeking a lightweight, open format for UI animations and micro-interactions without heavy runtime dependencies.
