Since the site already looks like trash, we will just push the code out to main and then rotate out later on, once it gets better metrics.

Okay, updated the lottie animations and the dev branch pipeline! This should make it a bit easier for us to have the code migrations occur without breaking the whole cicd.

Lottie

Within the expo-bbq, we will start with a lottie hero, which will appear on the first load of the application / website. I am usually against this type of flow, usually having a heavy website is a bit of a burden but there are some amazing tricks we can utilize in the future to help us out. The lottie json is around 200kb but an optimized dot lottie would bring it down to 30kb, however we can only use the optimization on the website because the react native integration for lottie seems to be a bit broken. For this aspect of the integration, we will create the hero component and
