Show HN: GIF.new – Instantly capture and create personal response GIFs
about a month ago I found out that this domain was available and couldn't believe it. Waited a good 3 weeks to pull the trigger on buying it (which, btw is hella expensive by default) and in the meantime, hopped from one idea to another on what it should house.
original idea was to build some kind of prompt-to-GIF service but very soon realised that i can't sustain the AI bill on my budget (top contender was to use runway).
then came the idea of animating charts from data (obvious: i work with spreadsheets) but didn't feel like it'd solve anything for anybody. idk, maybe/maybe not.
after ~20-25 days, realised that we could all use some break from AI shit and make things personal.
figured since I use GIFs a lot (people who know me, know this), could be a cool idea to now annoy people with my own reaction GIFs :P
And yes, it’s on the list of features to add. Will make that available as part of a paid plan though ;)
