Nice work. Something I've wanted before, but I'm a little confused by the UX.

I upload a gif, select a frame, modify it. But then I seem to only be able to add it to the end of the gif?

Changes are not made to the existing frame.

And I don't seem to be able to change the order of frames (ie: move the modified frame to it's original position).

I recently used this tool (https://ezgif.com/add-text), which got the job done. The most useful feature on it was the capability to set "x frame to x frame". ie: add text from frame 25 - end or 25 - 40.

The combination of your layers feature, plus frame x to x, would make this quite productive.

Thank you for your feedback. You can modify the frame by pressing the up arrow on the frame. The up arrow sets the frame to the current value of the canvas, the down arrow sets the canvas to the given frame.
