[tantek] has anyone constructed alternative shapes for their social media icons (that also fit inside the default circular crop) since Twitter started the rounded-corners hexagon for NFT profile icons thing?
#
[tantek] I'm thinking a rounded-corners pentagon would fit well. or to "one-up" a hexagon, go with a septagon (7-sided)
#
[tantek] or a rotated hexagon with corners at top and bottom instead of the flat sides like Twitter has it now

#
aaronpk I feel like I need to promote my emoji avatars more
#
[KevinMarks] they're very neat
#
sknebel you can probably change your twitter profile picture to match the last one syndicated too
#
sknebel I think thats in the API
#
aaronpk I've always thought about doing that... maybe this is the right time

#
capjamesg[d] aaronpk I added GIF support to my posting UI so I can search for a GIF and add it directly into a note / reply I'm writing.
#
capjamesg[d] Although it shall need a bit of work because if there's a GIF present and I press space the GIF breaks.

#
[schmarty]1 capjamesg: fun! Which GIF-finding service have you plugged into?
nertzy and schmudde joined the channel
#
capjamesg[d] [schmarty] The same one you used for Kapowski 🙂
#
capjamesg[d] The others I checked either needed an API key, didn't have an easy-to-use web API, needed specific embed code, or wanted me to verify my application (which doesn't make sense as it is just for me right now).

[schmarty]1 capjamesg: sweet! i feel like gfycat's library is not the best but it's 100% less owned by facebook than giphy 😩
#
jacky I don't know too much about assembly but this is wild https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/movfuscator

Loqi [xoreaxeaxeax] movfuscator: The single instruction C compiler
#
sknebel ah, that's making the rounds again? :D
#
jacky heh

#
capjamesg[d] [schmarty] yeah and I needed to apply for a production Giphy key and the application criteria weren’t worth it.
#
sknebel hm, you could have an importer for "sticker packs" from various messengers in such a thing
#
capjamesg[d] Can you elaborate?
#
sknebel many messengers have reaction images in the form of stickers and you can make and share custom sets of images for that purpose
#
sknebel another source of images for such an app
#
capjamesg[d] Ah got it. Indeed!

#
capjamesg[d] That is the current posting UI ^
#
capjamesg[d] I know I need to work on mobile support haha.
#
capjamesg[d] The second form field lets you search for a GIF and you get 10 options.
#
capjamesg[d] Building this in vanilla JavaScript has been quite the project.
