Homelab describes DIY, in-home computing and networking environments where hobbyists, IT pros and students run servers, networking gear and services for learning, testing and self-hosting. Common uses include virtualization, container platforms, network labs and home data centers for media, backups, development and cybersecurity practice. Communities such as r/homelab share builds, troubleshooting and project ideas, while smaller institutional “HomeLab” spaces can refer to dedicated incubators or bioscience accelerators. Homelabs emphasize hands-on skill growth in a low-risk environment, but bring practical considerations around power, cooling, noise and security. Deployments range from compact NAS and edge devices to rack-mounted clusters and GPU nodes for machine learning. The trend supports a market for components and appliances from networking vendors and hardware makers, and influences product lines aimed at prosumers and small offices.
LottieFiles is a platform and ecosystem for the Lottie file format, a lightweight JSON-based approach to rendering vector animations in real time. Public market participants related to this trend include Airbnb, Inc. (ABNB), Adobe Inc. (ADBE). Named after animator Charlotte "Lotte" Reiniger, Lottie focuses on tiny, resolution-independent motion assets that speed up load times and simplify handoff between designers and developers. LottieFiles hosts a large library of ready-to-use animations, tools to create, edit, test, and collaborate, and integrations with popular design environments and builders, enabling designers to export animations from tools like Figma and After Effects directly into Lottie. The format is commonly used for UI motion, microinteractions, in-app animations, marketing assets, and social content, where small file size and cross-platform consistency matter. LottieFiles positions itself as a bridge between design and engineering, reducing development effort while making motion accessible to non-animators. The trend reflects broader demand for performant, scalable motion on web and mobile platforms and tighter toolchain integrations with design suites and app ecosystems, as seen in usage and integrations tied to companies such as Airbnb and Adobe.
