Used in WhatsApp on iOS the last frame didn’t stay, it seems to stop instantly and/or loop back to too early. IIRC I used 20 frames, 250ms between frame and 2500ms for the last one. Seems to have a similar problem on Telegram. Otherwise incredible. The customization options are much appreciated.

This is a known problem for Telegram at least. It cuts off the last frame regardless of that frame's duration. I work around this by adding a single identical frame for 1ms at the end of the GIF.

Source: I've made way too many GIFs for Telegram.

The only thing I can imagine is that they were up against someone making a partyparrot generator.

Hahaha, genuinely laughed out loud, thank you! (also, big fan of partyparrot, of course)

This is useless, I can't make the glasses come from below, in addition to coming from above. Also, glasses can only be black? We demand a color palette for glass colour. EDIT: wait, I managed to make the glasses come from below blob: https://emoji.build/50c07035-efb9-4341-9205-30adfd6b088e I retract my indignation on the one half of my requests, but transfer it doubly so for the request of a colour palette

That feature was removed because half the people who want black frames were offended that the app offered options that they didn't want to use.

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

What's interesting is that the moment that you introduce a feature that allows for sharing of the images, and you need a backend to host the images. You enter a world of pain where you inevitably will end up hosting illegal material, and it turns from a fun project to a serious project.

Hell yeah, this is great. I made a similar, but much worse, thing a while back

https://jammaloo.com/DealWithIt/

It uses face-api.js to find the face, and then move the sunglasses over it. It's about a 5 meg model, so it's pretty slow to load. You can customize with a URL, or drag and drop an image on. Resizing the browser also moves the glasses around.

Very happy to see someone take the idea way way way further!
