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

#172Very nice. If this had a simple way to add timed annotations ("#ann=top,10s,18.3s,SomeText" or similar), that'd be absurdly useful. What technology did you build this with? What do you use to decode videos and write out gifs? Here's a useful bookmarklet to apply this to a video: javascript:location.host="gifyoutube.com" EDIT: are you getting hammered by traffic right now? Because I tried this on a 15 second video, an…
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 ;

On the flipside, I think the target demographic would use it without a second thought regardless of the design because the thing they're after is the end result. They only look at this site for fleeting seconds to develop their gif. Essentially, you're trying to appeal to an already sure audience, and in doing so risk losing out on the 'maybe' audience.

#178I had the SAME idea after seeing not-so-good options out there. Great job! I am interested on how you did this. The conversion speed is really quick!

Definitely :3. Any suggestions?
A few names still available: mkgif.com gifjam.com gifit.org gifr.info gifry.net yougif.net or .org Also, you can still keep your url-based usability with a name like this. Instead of telling people "just add gif to the beginning of the domain", tell them "just add .gifjam.com to the end of the domain". Bonus: you can then easily extend to other video sites.
