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.

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.

Good point, I'll try and look into that!

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.

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.
