it's useless thence I love it. I lied, in fact I just used it to create a couple Slack emojis.

That's what kept me going while adding more features :D Just the joy of creating something so useless, but still capable of bringing smile to my (and hopefully your too!) faces. Glad you love it!

> 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!

Thank you! Yeah, I totally understand and not taking it against them. It's impossible to always get the right impression and fit for the candidate (even if it was based on a few interviews and trial, like here). So I figured I'd make the best of the situation and share the project with others! Hoping to make some new connections this way, and maybe find an even better opportunity!

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.

I like it... faved for future fuckery. Can you add background photo rotation or shades rotation?

Yup, shades rotation is on the roadmap: https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/30 . Hope to get it done some time today/tomorrow. Most pieces are ready, just need to figure out a good UX for the rotate handle. Worst case scenario, it can be also an input field. Background photo rotation - could you share what would be the use case? The output would be a bit weird, since it has to be square, so either it needs…

Background photo rotation is the over-engineered alternative to shade rotation...

Hahaha, roger that! I mean, it would be in line with the whole premise of the tool... I should implement it so that the whole tool/page rotates around the glasses XD

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)

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

I retract my indignation on the one half of my requests, but transfer it doubly so for the request of a colour palette
