Gifs are versatile, universal, and easy to use… but there’s one flaw: You don’t know when they start or end. Is the cat jumping up or down? Did the guy eat his food on the table… or on the ground? Are you supposed to pour milk first, then cereal? These are the universe’s unanswered questions. ProgressGif adds progress bars to your gifs! Now you can finally follow along in peace. This is an open-source project. Anyone can contribute at https://github.com/aheze/ProgressGif.
Turing Patterns

Turn your photos into organic patterns driven by nature's hidden rules. Turing Patterns uses reaction diffusion equations, the same math that shapes animal markings and chemical reactions, to transform portraits into evolving art. • Snap a photo or upload one from your library. • Adjust pattern flow, movement, and color. • Export high resolution stills or looping animations. No two results are ever the same because nature never repeats herself, and neither do you.
