I’m inclined to agree, but it is funny that the two first people to reply said different things
I was more probing to see if anyone has had thoughts on a Gif DVM before and if there’s any down sides I might be missing
Mostly concerned about speed right now
if i were to implement i would not use DVMs. instead, spec an interface, allow for pubkey and payment provided in headers, and return json results that include publicly accessible URIs
So you’re thinking basically a simple HTTP GET request API for clients to use, yeah?
And then on the back end I can use Giphy or Tenor or whatever gif API service provider, but then open source it to show that search results aren’t stored/sold/paired with user data?
I just don’t want to have to build out my own gif repository; I wasn’t even planning on charge for the service
I just want gifs
yeah. you could basically act as a proxy to giphy, tenor, google image search, midjourney or whatever.
I see what you’re saying, I just don’t know if that’s “enough” for client developers to adopt it, but I can try it out and see how it goes
Thanks for the back and forth, if you have any other recommendations let me know
I’ll open source it so it’s transparent on what’s going on, but should be really simple 👍
