Awesome ! but.. this is what engineer are doing at google when they don't have any project ? lol
David Carpe
@nitin_muthyala well, that and they also check the stock price....

@nitin_muthyala Good question. I've personally met the lead designers from Google and yes, if a team feels like picking up an idea during or after a huge project to free their mind; they indulge themselves in building product they want. Fun-work to be able to get paid to build what you like while making a small change. Am I right or am i right? ;)

@nitin_muthyala Like a lot of companies now days Google developers are allowed a certain number of hours per month to spend on pet projects. This allows developers to innovate in ways that aren't possible when they have to do feasibility studies to prove a project has a need, solves a real problem and has a ROI.

I have been trying too hard... ...to understand what this could be useful for. Still trying.

@aichholzer IMHO finding ways to make data easier to understand and funnier to look at is quite important :)
Stefan Aichholzer
@adrien_viault isn't that a matter of perspective?
Steven Hambleton
@aichholzer Email marketing or indeed, any kind of digital marketing would be a great use case!

@aichholzer Just a try... maybe it could be useful to record on a gif the evolution of some real time dashboard data. Like recording the evolution over time of the number of connections to a website for 2 different browsers. You select your two dataseries and record/stop. The output is a gif you can present instead of a table.

I can see this being very popular in news stories in the future. Cannot get the things to render when I've tested it, but I can definitely see its promise.
Joshua Dance
Any example use cases?
Lucas Parisi

Sneha Gupta

Jenée Jernigan
Neat idea. Takes too long to download, I feel like I'm on dial-up again.

@jenee_jernigan odd, it was near instant for me on mobile 4G around the same time. Tried a faster dns?

I know it's lab, but it's not some crazy tech - just generating gifs. And it's taking ages...

Silvano Cerza
