i have just seen that gfycat is shutting down. i love sticking in a GIF, but would love a way to keep and categorise my gifs, and be able to embed/copy them into my banter.

Anyone know of something that could do it?

cheers

This might help, haven’t tried it but their proof of concept website looks promising.

where did you find the POC website?

www.gifable.club

Then click on get started and register an account to see what it looks like.

That's cool, thanks for sharing. I wish there was a way to plug this as the backend to my android keyboard.

I'm not a heavy GIF user but I use Lychee for the still-image version of what you want. I can't speak to how well it works with gifs, though. It may be worth a look
