We launched JibJab Camera (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) a few months back. After getting a lot of feedback and listening to our users we have made some changes and relaunched the app, now as GifGab! GifGab makes creating and sharing personalized GIFs easier than ever. With JibJab Camera we focused on the vertical video use case for story platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. For most users, the friction of app switching for story creation was too great. As a result, we adapted the UX to focus on the square GIF format for use in text messaging - where using third-party apps is a more common practice and the integration opportunities (like iMessage Extensions) provide an easy way for users to share.

@bracco Hey, that was me over on Twitter. The new app looks great and everything, but apparently you didn’t ask me for feedback when making the changes for GifGab. 😂 I was sad when @gomoji stopped working and then thrilled when I found that the avatars had been merged into the (short-lived) JibJab Camera app. Now, the thrill is gone. Personally, I thought it was one of the more creative things your brand has done. It was different from what others are doing. I’m glad I was able to go thought a bunch of texts today and pull some out. I was laughing all day looking at them again. Thanks for the laughs. 😉

@chakajon Hey Jon - Thanks for the feedback and I'm sorry to hear your disappointment. As Gregg mentioned on Twitter we are working on ways to re-introduce the avatar format. In GifGab we did remove avatars along with a bunch of other major features as well including the vertical format, video, AR, doodles and user stickers just to name a few. Our goal with GifGab was to take just the top used content formats and features to really focus on building a simple UX around those core features with a clear use case (text messaging). Hopefully, we can add back the avatar format as we evolve GifGab.

Looks great @bracco and team! Can we download the gifs, or do gifs automatically save to your camera roll? Is this only for portrait mode?
Mike Bracco
@lamaalrajih Thanks! In the current version we render a GIF and pass it to the iOS Share Sheet. From there it only saves to your camera roll if you choose to save. In the next version we're adding a custom share UX that will offer the ability to download GIFs and also videos. As for orientation, it is currently only portrait.

Is this different to the GifGab that I used years ago? An evolution of the project? Was always a cool website for sending Christmas cards :)

@davidalexander You're confusing GifGab with JibJab :D
David Alexander
@kylekesterson Aha, you are spot on. My bad! There is also a phone company in the UK (where I am originally from) called Giff Gaff, I somehow mixed all three together in my sleepy head :p I'll check this app out.
