Integrating GIF buddy into clients has been tricky because every developer is different

I made a GIF Buddy API for Corny Chat by Vic (npub1yx6…7kza)

I built a tool for creating personalized GIF Collections that uses a custom NIP used in ChaChi by verbiricha (npub107j…ncxg)

I publish every GIF that’s copied as a public event under NIP94 that other clients can freely access like noStrudel by hzrd149 (npub1ye5…knpr)

I deployed my own relay where all the GIF related events are publically accessible under:
wss://relay.gifbuddy.lol

And I’m personally trying to code GIFs into damus (npub18m7…q955)

My goal is to have GIFs (and even memes) in every client, but trying to build a single thing that satisfies each developer has been a challenge so much of my work has been split and pulled into different directions

Part of the challenge is that Nostr clients are inherently all built so differently: web vs. native, iOS vs. Android, one programming language vs. another

Slowly but surely we will get there

GIFs are inevitable
