Integrating GIF buddy into clients has been tricky because every developer is different

I made a GIF Buddy API for Corny Chat by nostr:npub1yx6pjypd4r7qh2gysjhvjd9l2km6hnm4amdnjyjw3467fy05rf0qfp7kza

I built a tool for creating personalized GIF Collections that uses a custom NIP used in ChaChi by nostr:npub107jk7htfv243u0x5ynn43scq9wrxtaasmrwwa8lfu2ydwag6cx2quqncxg

I publish every GIF that’s copied as a public event under NIP94 that other clients can freely access like noStrudel by nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr

I deployed my own relay where all the GIF related events are publically accessible under:

wss://relay.gifbuddy.lol

And I’m personally trying to code GIFs into nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955

My goal is to have GIFs (and even memes) in every client, but trying to build a single thing that satisfies each developer has been a challenge so much of my work has been split and pulled into different directions

Part of the challenge is that Nostr clients are inherently all built so differently: web vs. native, iOS vs. Android, one programming language vs. another

Slowly but surely we will get there

GIFs are inevitable
