When did Github get play/pause controls on GIF images?

Pretty neat! I've always had a gripe with GIF's autoplaying after the page loads so the first time I see it it's halfway through the animation.

VHS looks like a pretty neat tool! Not sure if I'd use it, but definitely some use cases out there for tutorials, guides, etc.



I've done a few gifs of "this happens" for bug reports and the like. One thing that this solves is the "ugh i screwed up the sequence, time to try recoring for the 10th time" problem, so that's interesting. I wonder how well it works with programs that set their input line discipline to "raw" or read from the pty directly - ncurses-like interfaces and things like sudo, etc.


I don't see the play/pause buttons (Chrome on Android): gif are autoplaying. Perhaps it comes from your browser?


Maybe, I'm using Firefox - I wonder if that's built into the browser now?

I really wish there was a set of browser standards for at least a modicum of similarity (I guess chromium is one?)- things are all over the place still hahaha
