Feature Suggestions

What else do you guys want to see?  If you have any suggestions for features, please leave them here as comments or tweet @TheIllFatedScum.  Or, if you really hate the site, let me know why so I can change it!

Reverse/Append & Remake

First post, very well could be my last.  Just wanted to explain a couple of new features at yt2gif.com and the reasoning behind it.

Reverse & Append

I've been wanting to do this feature for a while, but haven't gotten around to it until last night into this morning.  This feature does exactly what it says it will do -- it reverses the gif you create and appends it to a forward motion version of the gif.  






A lot of people have been asking for this, and it seems that so many people go to gif reversing apps or download and reverse offline, so it seemed this was absolutely necessary.  It also was not that complex of an operation to do.  Turns out the tool used to create gifs from still frames, Gifsicle, has the option to render in reverse and also to append.  Makes my life easy!

Remake a GIF

I have been wanting to create this since I started the app for my own personal needs and found it was a pain to make my gif just right.  The branch for this code has been open since October 2012, but it is now possible!  Gifs that are remake-able should have a button in the bottom right of the gif viewing window.

Gifs that have been created after this feature was introduced (about noon today) will all have the ability to do this.  Unfortunately, all gifs created before this point in time will not have this ability, as we simply did not collect enough data about each created gif to make this possible.
