[Application Suggestion] GIF Picker

Brainstorm
1
  • We have the clipboard widget for pasting regular text snippets
  • We have an emoji picker to select some emojis and send them to the clipboard :face_with_tongue:

What we need now is a GIF picker!

This would be a popup like the emoji picker. It would source GIFs from any local folder(s) the user set up and also online services like GIPHY (API available @ Docs | GIPHY Developers). If the user downloads GIFs from GIPHY it could save them in a local cache for easy reuse without having to fetch them again.

The initial window would just be a button to Add Source(s). Users can then add a local folder and if they want online support, it can direct them to Docs | GIPHY Developers to help them get an account and place the API key in the Settings.

@Confusion_Dreaded start a new thread rather than hijacking this one. You’ll get more interested people to read it anyway if it has a relevant title.

sounds like a fun little project for someone to learn the basics

it should be modeled more after the emoji picker than the clipboard widget tho, since both this popup and the emoji popup send their output to the clipboard anyway.
