  Demo of the App Created by the App!

Inspiration

At my job as a software engineer, I very often take videos as proof that my code is working as intended. I then convert these videos to GIF in order to paste them into a markdown supported site, such as Github. In various careers, I have had issues with the companies I work with to restrict data being offloaded to another site

What it does

Using a webassembly package, it is able to process and convert video files to GIF all done locally on the machine without sending any data to a server

How we built it

Using bolt, I iterated through the prompts to create the general flow, and user tested it extensively. I did have to make a few manual updates to fix some minor UX issues, but overall I worked through the whole thing with bolt. I integrated with Github and Netlify in order to keep track of different versions as well as provide quick deployments on each change

Challenges we ran into

Some minor UX issues such as generating icons were not done well in Bolt or the placement of certain HTML elements, so I had to go and manually implement those types of things

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

Learned how to build quickly using bolt and its integrations!

What's next for PocketGifApp

Adding a credit system to allow for more custom gif processing such as adding captions or different filters. This way it would monetize the app.
