Yes, often what would happen is by the time I figured out the flags, I'd lost the creative idea of what I wanted to make a gif for. Usually I was using them as replies on Twitter, but they banned me from there and Reddit so I have less need to make GIFs. I knew how to in Photoshop etc, before they moved to the cloud so they can be paid in perperuity even though a lot of the advanced/useful features like layers or cropping etc are in more basic tools like Preview or GIMP now. (GIMP needs to get a macOS friendly rewrite similar to how folks did KeePassXC imho, but I'm not a strong enough coder and no large open source friendly companies seems to want to pay me a salary to direct projects like that, so all I can do is halfway troll here on HN, but it comes from a place of love.)
