I love this idea. And maybe this criticism is unavoidable in today's world, but I had conflicting emotions on the matter.
One side of me thought, "oh man they know their target. Animated gifs and websites that just want to share rather than worry about fancy schmancy Silicon Valley nonsense design.
But then the other side of me detected the typical 2020s startup pattern of "landing page where you can't do anything but sign up or read a "compelling" story that should make you feel feels."
Gimme that nostalgia. Gimme my page! Gimme gimme! Let me start screwing around IMMEDIATELY and let me save it to my disk or offer to host it for me if I make an account.
EDIT: I just found the Edit button in the corner that gives me almost exactly what I want. Ohhh sound effects! This is snappy! That Edit button should be front and center... or even just on by default. Also I LOVE "Not visible on phones" as a very simple solution. Sure it's limiting, but I think it's far more accessible than "oh there's multiple views and you have to worry all about responsiveness." Nope... just... "this is bonus space for desktops." Maybe I'll hide some easter eggs there.
EDIT2: my last criticism is that you should be up front about the pricing model without me first having to make an account. The model seems reasonable, but it's yet another "2020s era pattern to capture you before telling you the details." I hate making accounts only to find out later that the pricing is silly. Makes me feel like I'm just a pawn to some SV startup garbage.
