Nice, a quick permalink would be a nice addition (I know you na click the image and get what I assume is a permalink, but it wasn't immediately obvious).

Yeah maybe we should put a small input field or some icon indicating a permalink to the right. Thanks!

Nice 9gag redo.

Consider putting your images on a CDN like cloudfront. They take quite some time to load.

sgehlich
Yeah, we will see how it goes. If it grows, we will definitely move to a CDN. Thanks for your comment! :)

A loading bar on the images would be useful.

I'm upvoting entirely because of the absolutely genius name.

Feedback: on the upload page the title field isn't limited on length even though it has a limit so I can type >64 characters. Also I'm getting "We're sorry, but something went wrong." on uploading.

sgehlich
Thanks for your feedback! Uploading should work again as well as the maxlength for the title field!

You are a genius for putting blocked NSFW images just far down enough to get someone to log in.

Some way to add image credit/source would be nice.

Edit: Sorry, didn't realize there was an option, none of the gifs I looked at had a source.

sgehlich
The last input field of the upload form lets you add a source which will later be displayed on the right side of the image.

there is a source field on the upload form..

It is very hard to scroll the images on ipad given scroll focus implementation the site has - it jumps the focus to the same image or the one after the next.
sgehlich
Yup that's because the scroll events are triggered as soon as the scrolling is done. We'll find a fix for that though. Thanks for your feedback!

just tap the next image, works fine for me...
