I was looking to define the graphics that came out of a GIF program I built and decided that the graphics were Art Deco, same as a lot of graphics on the internet. But it didn’t have the same sharp illustrative quality. The gif’s look much

That was my best modem. I went from 1200 unusable to something much more usable 9600 and 14.4. Then I had the 28.8k for a few years before I was blessed with 56k. I got cable modem after that.

in short, it let's you create logic to gif animations. And secondary lets you automate unique gif animations at a large scale. A token is a unit that equates to one token per second to use on your recordings. So if you had 50 tokens, y

Hi there. Please check out https://gif.com.ai You probably haven’t heard of it because it’s a bit under the radar and not really being promoted to the outside yet.

Pretty cool. Reminds me of https://github.com/yemount/pose-animator I would use it if there was a JavaScript port.

I think a frontend engineer needs to have both a very strong aesthetic design ability as well as engineering abilities. Marketing on the other hand is a different animal. A good marketer can sell bad code, U/X. I worked in QA and I thi

Yeah, on the idea of improving a description when you haven’t updated the extension for a while. My extension also got a reject notice after sitting in the submission queue for a week just because I capitalized one letter in the app descrip

It’s not exactly mobile friendly. You should direct mobile users to use this on their desktop with some kind of alert.

Microsoft and Facebook have partnered up and exchanged equity so I don't know why they wouldn't keep using giphy.

I built something like this for Shopify. Than Facebook sorta copied my idea with this storefront news. Anyway, I think this niche is very small and your better going for lower hanging fruit then starting with a live stream for software prod

interesting mentions of the <blink> and <marquee> tags. I have a modern app that makes use of these properties for making gif's. blink will make any content in the gif flash on the canvas and marquee will move it side to si

Actually webp is widely adopted but you may not know it. For example giphy.com encodes to webp but they’re renamed to .gif files.

Much of what art is, is serendipity, accident and discovery. If you’re overly deliberate your not creating high art. Anyway I just find it funny that gifs were invented to solve the problem of over sized video and now he’s saying that video

I'll admit that It's not really that optimized for FireFox (at all) at the moment. It may be because of a browser trick it uses on Firefox to get the bookmarklets to resemble Chrome Extensions. I'll look into Firefox more now

Yeah, this will be part of what holds back A.I. in the future. A.I. software is being built in the mirror of how the developer thinks. It's being made to think and act robotic with error correction instead of being made of mistakes, mi

Sadly it would be great if it were true but the finer details are that you cannot today drag and drop a gif from a website into another one or copy it to your clipboard and paste it elsewhere on the web. Even though it’s in the W3C clipboar

Hold the mic drop. Those that claim videos are superior over GIF's will never understand. The only benefit that a video tag has over a gif is a smaller file size. Animation's and meme's, cinimigraphics and simulations are mor
