Seems like the search is based only on the transcript/dialogue - not an image embedding. Would be super cool to actually use some CLIP/embedding search on these for a more effective fuzzy lookup.

"Medium Setting!" - https://frinkiac.com/gif/S03E22/319309/322862/

The GIF generator works well. Nice work!

You could probably delete some of the frames that have credits shown over them - since you have plenty of material already anyway, for example: https://frinkiac.com/caption/S17E16/137763 or https://frinkiac.com/caption/S16E09/162162

I've always wished the GIF generator could embed the subtitle like the single frame "make a meme" feature can, but it does work surprisingly well

Frinkiac has been around for at least a decade :)

We launched Feb 2, 2016 so almost a decade since then! Of course, we ran it for just ourselves a bit longer so it’s been slightly over a decade at this point.

Has it been that long? I remember having a ton of fun with it when it first launched.

Great job.

Congratulations, really nice! I wasn’t aware of this.

Very cool. Maybe add some image embeddings for additional metadata for the search results?

You know, I tried to look for source code or a downloadable database, to play with a local fork, but I haven't found much.
