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.
