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


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.

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

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.

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

For enjoyers of classic simpsons, I highly recommend /r/simpsonsshitposting, a delightful blend classic simpsons, absurdist/surrealist/dadaist art, multilayered inside jokes and often NSFW content. It could not exist without The Frinkiac.

edit: Though it seems to be somewhat outdated.



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.

mmmmm cromulent
