Show HN: I made a web app for making or remixing animated GIF's

[leopld]

It stemmed from the lack of decent GIF editors that I could find around the web, this thing works on both your desktop and your mobile, and was made to be sexy, swift and straightforward.

Let me know what you think!

You could add a few starting gifs to lower the barrier to entry, I don't have any gifs lying around my computer so I didn't try the tool.

Nice design otherwise, looks cool!

Nice. You could add a 'add via url' or add a shortcut to http://imgur.com/r/gifs. (I don't know how many people actually save gif's on their PC). Also: Adding text is hidden behind one grey button. It plays such a big role with gif's, I feel it deserves a bigger place in the UI.

[leopld]

That's a good point, I've held back on marketing the app before the text feature was ready since I felt it played such a big role indeed, I probably should make the button easier to spot.

Small thing but took me quite a long time to find the "cook me that gif" button on a desktop. Would have expected the Add Images, Edit and Preview and Share Gif status items to all be clickable or look less like buttons.

[leopld]

Thanks for pointing that out! The cook button should be pretty loud, so I'll look into how I can make sure it's not missed.

Very nice! If there was a feature that allowed you to add text/objects to a range of frames as opposed to having to do it for each individual one, then I'd use this quite often!

[leopld]

There is! Or rather, right now, you can add an object to a single frame or to all frames, there's a menu just below the tool buttons letting you do that. I might add a "custom" option there as we'll, so that the user can specify an exact range of frames to apply the object to.

very nice app! I love your implementation because its dead simple and straight to the point. Good job.

it would be great if it could also encode in webm and mp4
