I wish we could move away from the awful format that is animated gif and use something much better in terms of compression, color support and frame rate. Like webm.[1][2]
I personally think http://mediacru.sh is a better choice. Free and open source. I'm not sure if it display a .gif if the user doesn't have HTML5 video compatibility.
This looks really awesome - nice work Greg and team. It's depressing when someone releases an open source library that does something novel using interesting technologies, has a lot of potential real-world use cases, and clearly took a TON of work, and the responses range from 'I don't like GIFs' to 'There's already a library that has GIF in the name so I'm going to assume this is redundant and leave a passive-aggressive comment'. What's wrong with you people?!
Obviously, the getUserMedia aspect of the project can't be done server-side, but we can look into supporting the existing video->GIF and images->GIF logic.
Right, I don't care so much about the getUserMedia part at the moment. But what you've done is totally awesome, by the way! With that said, I was looking for "take an array of images, spit out a gif file, and, oh yeah, put this text along the bottom."
