This is kinda neat. Nice and simple, easy to use. Plus, I've always wanted a gif of myself eating rice and beansprouts on repeat: https://gif.gg/iT7mk6


Why to gif though, when you have services like https://mediacru.sh that are awesome because they replace gif by video?


Every frame is taken separately by the user, and you can change the delay between frames: it’s more a stop-motion tool than video capture.

That being said, I’m almost certain that video formats performs better than gif (e.g. WebM), but the gif format is still the easiest to work with at the moment:

Here https://megavisor.com/composer/ is much powerful tool.
