This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

        @vgr also reminds me of jog mode on video editing software which lets you proceed a few frames at a time. Remember it being very useful.

        @vgr Touching GIFs to make them move, if done in a really responsive way, could also be a nice interaction.

        @vgr I also like the idea of the animation being linked to all of its connected memes.

        @chenoehart I thought of memes as an independent feature (grab frame, add text) but in same creative spirit, animated memes would be cool

        @vgr @chenoehart you should check out Traktor or Pioneer CDJs. They've thought through live loop manipulation pretty nicely.

        @vgr why’s it look so much like a flip phone? At that point, why not an app?

        @strogoscope @vgr @wellplayd_ggate not that I am aware of, but it looks like a nice implementation of the idea of a GIF editor.
