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

You can choose different styles of glasses. But, yeah, they're all black-ish. Definitely open to different colors/styles! I've created a new issue with some possible solutions and will look into it: https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/33 (but PRs are welcome too!)

That's fantastic stuff! Minor UX notes: - clicking the header doesn't navigate back to the "home" screen - singular page history (so the back button doesn't take you back to the previous page state) Combined it made it not intuitive for me how to "get rid" of the selection I'd created (I eventually figured it out, but the previous two points were what I intuitively tried first)

Could you describe in more detail this? I'm not sure I agree that state changes should be pushed to browser history. In my experience this usually leads to confusing user experience. But that might be also just years of conditioning and I'm missing some best practices. So happy to learn more.

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.

> Unfortunately, they were not impressed and ultimately did not offer me the job :( Sorry to hear that. No recruiting process is perfect. They often get it wrong, as they clearly did here!

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

I adore it. I would love the ability to add frame delay (and maybe start/end position/rotation tweening?!) to each layer of glasses.

I think we're thinking of the same thing here: https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/22 That's part of the reason I made the list of glasses draggable/sortable. Because I want to add the ability to specify which glasses should appear together and which ones should appear in a sequence. So many features to implement, so this one did not make it for the launch, but it's definitely on the roadmap!

It's great. I wish you could paste an image URL too, that would be slick.

Oh, and it would be cool to have an option for the meme text to go under the image too, and to appear in the final frame of motion for the glasses. For now, I can DEAL WITH IT!
