Data Binding Lists: How to arrange list items onto a custom path with @jeffamcavoy.bsky.social from Rive.

Today, you need to align list items in the instanced artboard, but we have plans to make Lists work directly with Follow Path. We'd love to know about your use cases!

Runtime Code can be intimidating, but it's not as hard as it seems. And it unlocks so many incredible integration possibilities!

Well, I can no longer call myself "The Rive Guy"...

🎉 Because now I'm officially part of the @rive.app team!

As one of my last projects for the Urban Ecology Center, I got to create a real-time updating fundraising thermometer for use at their annual gala event. With data-binding in @rive.app I was able to add interpolation to both the bar height and the numbers being counted.

After 15+ years, I am moving on from my VP, Marketing position at the Urban Ecology Center. (New role announcement coming soon!)

To share my appreciation for my colleagues, I created this Fox-themed personality quiz with Webflow and @rive.app. 5 quick answers to get a fox name & type!

Added this one to the @rive.app marketplace:

More amazingness made possible with @rive.app's data-binding features. Added some control sliders to the min and max X and Y for the particle emitter.

🤯 the new data binding lists feature on @rive.app makes it possible to create particle emitters!

Another fun data-binding experiment in @rive.app. Not sure what to do with this one yet. What could this bouncy motion be used for?

Experimenting with a googly-eyes interaction thanks to
@rive.app's new data binding features!

Bringing several of my interests together with this one: 3D printing + @rive.app + @raspberrypi.com + @nocodebackend.bsky.social

This is v2 of a “get ready for the day” display that shows the date, weather*, school lunch, special class* and field trip* info.

* - just placeholders for now

I'm still figuring out GitHub, but I believe it is a place to share code, right?

So, I started up a new "Rive on Webflow" repo to share code to level up @rive.app integrations on Webflow sites. It has one file right now, more to come!

Old-school 3D glasses + @rive.app data-binding to control "depth" effect. ✨

A @rive.app on one device controlling a Rive animation on another! This set up uses @raspberrypi.com, node.js, and websockets. I love how immediate the response is!

This @rive.app animation is controlling an LED connected to a @raspberrypi.com Zero W 2. It’s a first test in controlling real world devices with Rive interactions!

Lots of people try to understand @rive_app by comparing it to Lottie. Makes sense, Lottie is a familiar format. But, Rive is built to do so much more! Interactivity, dynamic content updating, responsive layouts, and insanely small and performant files to name just a few.
rive.app Rive @rive.app · Feb 20
Why do teams switch from Lottie to Rive? Because they’re done with broken pipelines and need more than a linear format. Rive is faster, smaller, and ready for the interactive era. We’re on a mission to make hard-coded graphics history for all software and Ul — animation is just a part of the puzzle.

More @rive.app feather fun!
February 16, 2025 at 11:09 PM
Experimenting with @rive.app feathers. This is 100% vector. 🤯
February 15, 2025 at 8:44 PM
One interesting thing you can do with the new @rive.app feather features is that your additional fills can have offsets even if they're not feathered. So you can essentially create duplicates of your shapes. It turns out there is a decent file-size saving too.

🪶Apply feathering in different ways on the same shape to create different effects like blur or shadows

A quick experiment with the new @rive.app Feather feature. The combo of feather and blend modes reminded me of Yondu's arrow.

Introducing Vector Feathering — a new way to create vector glow and shadow effects. Vector Feathering is a technique we invented at Rive that can soften the edge of vector paths without the typical performance impact of traditional blur effects. (Audio on 🔊)

Here it is! It's not polished, but it should tell you how to update your @rive.app text runs at runtime using Webflow's native Rive integration, how to make a component with properties to update the text and URLs for each instance, and the JS code that makes it all work.

I just (finally!) recorded a video walkthrough of how to update text runs in a @rive.app file using the new Webflow integration and the JS runtime code. It's "rough", but at this point I think done is better than not done. 😁 Stay tuned, I'll post today!

Sure, a bulleted text list would get this information across... but it's way more fun (and memorable) to use @rive.app and @gsap-greensock.bsky.social to make it interactive!
