Here are some comments:

- When I search for "the universe itself is a giant ocean of distraction.", I see few options and a lot of empty colored boxes which I assumed was empty - but they were loading. So maybe it's better to put a spinner?

- It can be very good if embedded inside FB or Reddit. So a focus there would be better. FB embed (edit- FB shows it on the timeline without a need to click away) worked for me.

- Slight customization of font color, stroke and size could be good - maybe as an advanced setting. But simplicity and defaults are good.

- May I upload my own photo and make my own gug (or whatever).?

- The colored boxes should be replaced very quickly to the gif. We find a spinner to be too much of a distraction. We may change the colored boxes to a thumbnail of the gif.

- You can post the gif to FB and reddit using the share buttons. What do you mean by embed?

- Advanced customizations and photo upload are on our roadmap, we can't tell yet when we will do it

> The colored boxes should be replaced very quickly to the gif.

In several attempts, 4-5 of them were GIFS and the rest waited colored- it was enough for me to assume they were meant to be empty. I have a fast LTE connection. Spinners are a distraction but the slightest, faintest spinner concept can do- and they don't need to spin just maybe just wave or show something is coming.

or maybe don't show the colored boxes at all ..

@diminish Thank you for the suggestion. We will probably use the thumbnail to make the experience better.
