It'd be nice if I could upload 10 PNG files so as to not be bound by the 256 color limitation of GIFs.

>It's definitely pricy if you order one at a time, but if you want a run of business cards costs come down to a couple dollars each. I found those prices in the 'how it works' page and nearly closed the tab without a second thought. You might want to give some prices for larger runs, or at the very least say somewhere that volume discounts are available. Now that I know that I wouldn't have to pay thousands of dollar…
We totally understand! We still have to finalize pricing with our manufacturer so that's why we've asked people on the homepage to email us with business card / wedding invitation inquiries. It gets almost an order of magnitude cheaper logistics/labor wise to do large runs, we just need to make sure we can do a good enough quality job!
My first thought was "Holy cow, this would make an amazing card!" followed by "Holy cow, that's a lot of money, forget about it!"
Even now, I'm skeptically thinking "'Larger runs' probably means at least a thousand... who has three grand to drop on cards?"

#103How good can this tech get? Could you print an ultra-high dpi image, put ultra-fine lenses over it, and turn it very slowly to get several minutes of video?

#104It would be cool if the user could pick the 10 frames out of the gif rather than requiring 10 sequential frames!
With CSS transforms and javascript, it might be possible to make some kind of in-browser preview of the final result even!

As a student of philosophy of language I love/hate this debate. I'll say this, I feel badly for people who think the creator gets to control the pronunciation. Hopefully the prescriptivists will learn language evolves irregardless of whether we want it to. Whenever you think you have firm rules, you will find they will change momentarily. Let me know if you spot what I snuck in there.
We were just talking about this yesterday with some friends, and they put it nicely as "Language has no master"
Perhaps more accurately put, the "English language has no master."
Many--perhaps most--European languages, do have prescriptivist masters. Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, and dozens more.

Large runs means about 50-100 or more, so not too much!

#107I know this ship has sailed, but the G in GIF is pronounced like in "gin", not like in "gig".

I notice you couldn't bring yourself to use the modern oxymoronic definition of "literally"

Even then, those "masters" only have limited control of the language.

that would be amazing! we're hi@gifpop.io
Post it on HN, I'd love to see it as well.
Here's a quick video of the buckyball.
The video is from today. The image was printed about 18 years ago :)

Hi, thanks! 10 frames is a little short right now we agree, and we're working with our manufacturer to get even more. The main constraint is the registration accuracy between the lens and the print, which gets super hard when printing more than a few frames.
Have you tested making "loops" with larger frame counts by example printing out a strip and taping the ends together and spinning it to create a movie effect? Does that make sense?
You could have four of these (maybe more?) with the top edges glued to a stick (side view: +). As you rotate the stick, you'd see 10 frames per sheet, then focus on the next one. I'm not sure if that would work.
