- scrollaway 12y agoI really wish people on HN stopped linking to gfycat and linked to mediacrush instead. The former seems like a very scummy "lowest common denominator" type of site, while the latter is open source, allows self-hosting, has deterministic hashes, uses strong https encryption, ...
- mbell 12y agoI looked over mediacru.sh and unless I'm missing something it doesn't serve the same purpose as gfycat. The point of gfycat is to upload a gif, it converts it to webm then it gives you a bit of embed code that will try to use the webm variant but will fall back to the gif when unsupported. I didn't see anything in mediacru.sh's code that would allow gif <-> video conversion, I tried uploading a few gifs on their site as well and didn't get any video options back from the API.
