Emote Maker

the only thing I wish there was other than what 7tv has for image processing already is a way to just compile the emote on the website (using your own images for frames).

My reasoning:

• most people use/know/are used to gifs
• gif is worse than webp in every way except compatibility with some stuff
• people dont know they could make their stuff better quality
• therefore having a maker on the website would be a good way to introduce the option to people and saves work of having to upload frames to ezgif, make the webp, then upload to the platform

im thinking something similar to ezgif's webp maker but with different processing ofc since it would be our way of processing, and wouldn't have the same limits/flaws that ezgifs webp tools do (such as frame stacking, size limits, weird compression stuff, etc.)

Hum, I think should be done in javascript (meaning everything would run on the browser), which I do not write, so we'd need someone to work on it.

I looked for some libraries that might help implementing it:

• https://github.com/fabricjs/fabric.js
• https://github.com/yahoo/gifshot
• https://github.com/meltingice/CamanJS
• https://github.com/imgly/pesdk-html5-build
• https://github.com/ange007/pie-js

I think this is a big project, but great to have.

Oh also I copied this from the discord forum and I forgot that I was gonna add that I found out photopea has an api. So we could maybe for example for embed photopea into our website or smth with the animation templates I make already loaded in, along with a guide somewhere on the page for how to use it. Idk what the technical side of that is like, but if that's easier we could have that in the meantime.

The purpose of this project would be to make it easy for people to start making emotes/easier to make them in general, so ngl if the photopea stuff can't be done pretty well/seamlessly it's not worth trying. Would be better to just have a resource section/wiki (and possibly forum) which ngl I'd probably want either way.
