I don't have anything against meme GIFs: they are short and meant to be repeatable, so all good.
But, as I wrote in the post, I came across too many GIFs with demos, tutorials or animated diagrams on GitHub and NPM. This was the motivation to create GIFSane, as sometimes you want to stop in a frame, or go back to check a detail.
> The software engineering world adopted them for a particular use case: recording tutorials and demos.
Besides, the whole thing was done in the name of the hacking spirit hehe Perhaps, one day, GitHub will convert any GIFs/WebM files into video components (similar to what Twitter does).
