The input box doesn't give visual feedback on text highlight. I was trying a few URLs and it took me a second to realise I had selected the text to overwrite (disappeared on backspace).
The save dialog always presents the filename as slideshare-as-a.gif. Suggest you use the last part of the slideshare link to generate the filename.
Updating the location bar dynamically when adjusting settings as well as using query params is always useful.
Being stuck with a wiki that won't allow linking to slideshare, I can see a real world use for this.
Thanks a lot for the appreciation and feedback. I completely agree with all the points mentioned. The first issue has already been fixed.
There is no API as of now, mainly because it was developed as a client side technology. Everything happens on the user's browser. I'll consider making one though.
Nice product. Some constructive advice - whilst naughty swear words are fine between friends and on your blog, on your product's home page it gives the impression of childishness and unprofessionalism.
I will just wait for a animated gif output for Pandoc, which already turns my Markdown (and other files) into beautiful slide shows in a variety of formats.
Limited to 256 colors, bloated (poor) compression, and overall terrible old legacy format.
I'd throw that image at gfycat.com faster than you can say "next slide please". Even the twitter example given -- twitter has already converted the gif to mp4. Why waste the bandwidth uploading something that's just going to get transcoded anyway?

Minor points aside, looks and works great.
