Bringing apps to life: How we use Flutter and Rive at Scapia to build engaging experiences

Scapia demonstrates how combining Flutter with Rive animations creates engaging mobile experiences that feel alive rather than just functional. The team uses Rive's state machines to build interactive elements like games, calendar highlights, and onboarding flows, enabling designers to create animations directly while developers integrate them with minimal code. Key insights include performance optimization strategies like visibility-based animation triggering, file size management, network caching, and maintaining version compatibility between Rive editor and Flutter runtime.
