One problem that I can think of is that the palette for each frame is restricted to 255 colors. That being said, there really isn't any other widely-supported option at this point :-).

I like the app concept! Nice work!

Blippy co-founder here. Yes, GIF is a really old format. We have to work a lot on optimizing for performance. Surprising that it is the only popular one that allowed any animation. Others like Animated PNG did not take off.
