Now I only need to send that link to http://www.gfycat.com/ for it to load fast. Full circle!
It's always good to have bidirectional functions I guess.

Since gifyoutube doesn't support https, this is an updated bookmarklet for thost who use youtube with https and need to change the protocol along with the host: javascript:location=" http://gifyoutube.com"+location.pathname+location.search ;
https://gifyoutube.com/ seems to work just fine.
carlesfe is talking about using the bookmarklet in a situation when you're viewing a youtube video over https

#144The presentation of the page ("copy pasta z", the fullscreen gif background, the popup in the middle, the banner in the top left) all strike me as being dodgy/malicious and from a site that I'd immediately want to close and never visit again. I'm not sure why you see the need to be so 'internet' with it all when you could do a fully functional equivalent that would be easier on your servers too. Just make it clean an…
Hey Nam! Really appreciate the comment. We were just being silly and hacking away at it adding random things that made us lol hahaha. You're right though. Moving forward minimalist is what we hope to accomplish. Thanks for the feedback ^_^
I like the design, all the way down to Copy Past Z. I think grandparent post is out of touch with your target demographic :D

#146I like that you can choose the starting time directly in the video. But I'd like to choose the finishing time in the video too. (I wouldn't remove the option to choose starting point+lenght).
Thanks for the feedback! I definitely agree and something we were trying to work on. One thing that's difficult is choosing the finishing time on the video. For example if it's 5 seconds or something, the two end points are really close. What do you think about beta.gifyoutube.com? It's a little different mechanics for choosing start time (which I'm not the best fan of), but maybe it's a little easier for end time. I…
I think the advantage of choosing your endpoint is it allows finer grained control over what gets rendered in the GIF
you could argue that if you really cared you'd just use a GIF editor to "trim" the final result to your liking, but would be nice not to have this step.

#147Great job with this. Very useful. The only issue I see is that Google may sue over domain/trademark issues. Facebook has done this to many sites for using "fb" in their domains. While you're getting lots of attention, you may want to offer a browser plugin/extension/bookmarklet that interfaces with the site (have the bookmarklet use a domain less likely to be contested) so that you can keep momentum going if they hap…

To back up your statement: Back in the day my buddy created "greedtube.com" and received a Cease and Desist within 48 hours.
