https://gifbuddy.lol

Shout out to  @NunyaBidness for the seeding the idea and @SPA for UI improvement suggestions (more gifs, less clicks)

I have more in the works, but it's not ready for primetime just yet. If you're interested in helping me test new things let me know! 

Looking at you  @SUPERMAX  @Karnage  @djmeistro✝️ 🍊💊⚡️  @ketobeejay  @Derek Ross 

I appreciate you guys using my app!

 Tbh the meme function is hard to use atm. I’d love an exact replica of imgflip - specifically search and adding text 
 Appreciate the feedback, I’ll look at imgflip and see what’s there 

What are you finding difficult to use?

 It's on my home screen. Always use gifbuddy! 
 I'm having problems uploading to it  
 Let me look into it, thanks for letting me know! 🙏

It failed me trying to upload this one  
 Ok great, thanks for providing an example for me to test, I’ll get back to you on this one 

Gotta go to work though so it may take me awhile to get a fix in 
 No problem, but gif are the main purpose of the world right? Should check your priorities 😂 
 Awesome. Great work. 
 Attention memers: nostr:nprofile1qqstuu6ccnl9q9yvejhuqt4zqhvqz30z2wyf4gu43k404p3hq37ggrspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn964k6kt has more tools for you to flourish.

 All Nostr clients should have a gif button of gifbuddy

 This is fun, my only wish is that these could be automatically uploaded to @nostr.build so we don’t have to use Tenor links. https://image.nostr.build/ea0d120a1a76982ff15914e5c539be1146b955d396df5a918b19e964483ca8d2.gif 
 If you meme a GIF, it's automatically uploaded to nostr.build 
 Ah, I wonder if that could be streamlined with a button instead of making the user copy/paste.

Also, there seems to be some issues with non-escaped punctuation characters…

 Interesting

I’ll look into that for the character issue

What do you mean by streamlined with a button? I thought copy paste was the easiest, but open to other ideas 
 A “Meme this GIF” button that does the work of copying and pasting for the user. 
 Oh yeah ok, I had something similar in mind:

Instead of having users search on one page and then paste to another, I would just have the search on the same page and once the gif is selected it automatically loads the input 

But now you got me wondering:
What about double tapping on the search page? Tap once to copy, tap again to meme?

It’s just that having a floating button over every meme that’s loaded looks clunky in my mind, but maybe I’m thinking about it differently 
 Yeah, I haven’t really thought about the UX yet. This is just what you’d call a “user story” in the biz. Also I think the font choice for the meme text could stand to be improved overall. 
 Yeah, I feel the same way about the font 
 If it’s memes just use Impact. White with black border. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

 You right

I will fix this tonight 🫡  
 They are uploaded to nostr.build on the backend

The problem is that process takes several seconds so it would heavily impact the user experience 
 God bless you, Lemon. 
 @corndalorian it works for images too 

Curious on your feedback as a professional memer
