Animated GIFs #153

Closed jimpo closed 10 years ago

I think all we have to do is create an embed tag for Imgur. Thoughts, @themichaellai?

I suppose that would work, although it looks like if we want images to definitely persist forever we would need a pro account, not sure how much of an issue that is. Is there a reason why we can't just treat them as Images / host them ourselves?

Oh snap. I thought cropping wouldn't work for animated gifs, but it does. Good call.

@jimpo I suggest that we textify them. We could save a lot of space/bandwidth this way. We could even reduce requests by bundling the images with the existing JavaScript assets.
