A javascript library would be extremely useful.

I was thinking of extracting the gif parsing code from this project: https://github.com/shachaf/jsgif

Then I looked at the code. I've never seen such callback hell in js without there being a server... so I abandoned that idea and was eventually planning on writing my own.

It's funny you say that, I've been looking at this: https://github.com/buzzfeed/libgif-js — it's a fork of jsgif, but doesn't require a server though. You call the library on the GIF and it handles the rest.
