Earlier quoted context omitted.

You should elaborate on whether you mean an affiliate API or something else. An API means nothing when the subject is a user-catered service

Ok sure, let me elaborate. Will you have an API where I'll be able to send a request with a gif and an address to send it to, similar to lob?

Hi! Yes, we are planning on having a way to integrate with Gifpop. We're talking to a few gif app makers and hopefully will have something put together soon!

(for the interested, we're currently built on node and express, which has been really great for prototyping and building out new endpoints that require lots of processing. our previous website, http://meshu.io, was built on python/django)

Awesome! Thanks for your answer. Looking forward to that.

This is an awesome idea. I would love the option to upload a short video clip instead of a gif though, and have it take 10 evenly spaced frames from the video. My nieces (ages 8 & 10) would love to use this to make prints of themselves in action, but it would be easier for them to be able go straight from a video taken with a phone to a printed product.

Thanks! We currently do support Vine and Instagram video, and you can pick a short clip from there. Processing all videos in all formats is a little tricky right now and it's helpful to have the pre-constraint of those social networks. Taking video from a phone is a great idea though!

I want to see more shots of the actual prints though, I only saw one in the video, be good to get a better idea of the quality of the print and the motion.

Thanks! Here are some more links to gifs we've printed for artists: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/338114/gifs/by_me/mrdiv-... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/338114/gifs/by_me/dvdp-8... And here's one of the very first we made, only with four frames and with a lower quality manufacturer, but it was a gift for a friend: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/338114/gifs/by_me/firstg...

We were lucky enough to have Sha and Rachel come to ultravisual for lunch yesterday, first time I got to see some of the lenticulars in person and they look awesome. I think they're taking this in a really fun direction, can't wait to see what people make with the service :)
