@merkinspurlock A life goal of mine is to replace all my verbal exchanges between friends, with gifs instead of words. Is GIPHY Keys a good way to do this? Please respond quickly - people are texting me and I don't know what to do.
The leader in all things GIFs, just launched a custom iPhone keyboard (we knew this was coming). Of course, here's a GIF explainer:
P.S. The CEO, @alexchung, is on Product Hunt LIVE in a few weeks. His landing page is the best.
Not as good as Giffage, in my opinion, but I like to see GIPHY finally make their own keyboard. My main gripes:
1. I wish the keyboard auto-minimized or I at least had the option to minimize it while I am viewing GIFs. The amount of space to view GIFs is too small...
2. Why can't this just be part of the main GIPHY app? Giffage has a viewer and keyboard in one app. Seems like a waste of space on my phone to have two apps for viewing GIPHY separately and using the keyboard.
3. When you copy a GIF there is text that says, "Paste Ya GIF". I expect to be able to tap on that to automagically paste my GIF where my text cursor is, but it doesn't.
@unseenvision Thanks for the feedback! GIPHY actually powers Giffage, so it's good to hear you're getting some milage out of their keyboard.
Totally understand wanting to get a better look at each GIF before sending and we're always thinking about ways to improve that experience beyond this V1. As for having to paste your GIF manually, I feel your pain; unfortunately this is a limitation of third party keyboards on iOS but could see how the look of that prompt could be misleading.
@unseenvision Also: I imagine one day the keyboard and main GIPHY app will live happily together inside one cute little app but for now we're letting Keys have its solo moment in the spotlight.
