Four months ago I had posted the first version of this project which was just the video editor. After garnering positive feedback, I decided to turn it into the social platform Gifygram where you can share your animations.

A major inspiration for the social aspect was MIT's Scratch game editor, which allows users to "Remix" other people's content into their own versions. Gifygram builds on this by showing all remixes under the original author's thread which adds another avenue of interaction on top of commenting and sharing.

For those curious, the inspiration for the animator was an old and purposefully goofy video from 2007, the 300 PG version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNqiSkd1M6k

And lastly for the WebAssembly fans, all the rendering and video encoding on Gifygram is done entirely within the browser, no video processing server required :)
