Introducing The Gif Picker

To kick off the new year, conversations have been enhanced with animated reactions through the Gif Picker.

If image uploads are enabled, a GIF icon will show up in the comment toolbar.

Clicking this will display a list of trending gifs. This list preloads a certain number of images and offers infinite scrolling.

Currently, the only integration FastComments supports is with Giphy.

We understand that a significant portion of our user base chooses FastComments due to privacy concerns.

All assets and API calls from Giphy are stripped of information such as cookies and your users' IP address.

The content rating of gifs can be adjusted to be anywhere from PG to R-rated, depending on your audience. Documentation for customizing the content rating is here.

There is specific documentation for the gif picker. See here: https://docs.fastcomments.com/guide-gifs.html

We've made a substantial investment to ensure the Gif picker and related functionalities are fast and do not hinder the rest of the product.

Like the rest of FastComments, we hope you find this feature quick, enjoyable, and easy to use.

Cheers!
