gifski is awesome and, be careful, produces big GIFs. Linux users, it's available in peek, a very usable GNOME-ish screencasting tool. https://github.com/phw/p

- nolok 9y agoWhat would be the use case of this versus WebM ?
- ronjouch 9y agoFor me, due to GitHub/BitBucket restrictions. When spitting a piece of frontend code, I like to help my fellow reviewing collea^H^H^H^H^Hvictims with a little screencast of what my code ends up looking like, typically ten seconds of me clicking around the new feature. GitHub/BitBucket (as of today) won't let me embed a webm/mp4 to a comment field in a Pull Request, but supports drag&dropping a GIF and displaying it inline, so GIF it is for now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Maybe our GitHub & Atlassian overlords will see the light at some point in the future, hopefully before the end of our year 1998. I see one intrinsic valuable feature in GIF today: the guarantee that there will be no sound (and even this is kinda moot, an mp4/webm video can be embedded muted by default). Other than that, I agree, it's a shame not to use a better format.
