Thanks! This actually does help. We had encountered Lottie earlier in our search, but didn't explore it enough. The size compression it achieves is in itself a big advantage.
Quick tutorial: draw something or import a svg, click the green plus button in the lower left to add the drawing to a new keyframe, change something in your drawing, then click the plus button again to add the changes to the second keyframe, then press play to watch the animation. (if you import a svg you'll probably need to ungroup the different elements)
