We built this little app over the weekend. We got sick of seeing bizarre or offensive Giphy gifs in our team's Slack channels. So we built this instead :)

Uses Slack button to add to your team. Use /gif [phrase] to get an _always_ suitable GIF!

Ok...well... we still have some work to do. Sorry!

EDIT: we'll be adding the ability to up/down vote images and flag as inappropriate. Really keen to keep it clean!

No worries I love it other than that!
davman
Maybe put a button on the site under where you can test it to report an inappropriate gif?
davman
Eeek! I think I broke it :(

Turns out it crashed when it didn't find an image :) Small oversight...now fixed!

Hopefully no more boyband/teen tv gifs when you don't need them :D

It actually finds relevant gifs - nice piece of algorithm here!
