What do you think? …

Hey @levelsio Congrats on the new launch! Where does this idea come from?
levelsio
@gregoiregilbert It came straight from the always great Yahoo! Answers: "Why won't my printer print .gifs properly?" https://answers.yahoo.com/questi... Good question :D

I'm always interested in @levelsio's projects. Wired wrote a great piece, This Guy Is Launching 12 Startups in 12 Months (I like that they called you "this guy" in the headline, lol). Here are his previous products, hunted on PH: - NomadList - The best cities to live and work remotely - Play My Inbox - Stream the music that's in your inbox - Tubelytics - The real-time analytics dashboard for YouTube - Go Fucking Do It - Set a deadline and a price. If you fail, you pay. P.S. apparently I made a cameo on GifBook's homepage. Ha!

Congrats with shipping again @levelsio! Don't think you'll get away with shipping Gifbook's the next months instead of launching products ;-) I knew i saw this before. Apparently Gifprint.com has been doing this for a while now. This will probably prove again that execution is key. Site looks neat and easy to use. Optimising for mobile is golden, especially for the mobile using GIF addicts. It's probably interesting to experiment with advertising on GIF-goldmines like Reddit, 9GAG, etc. Any plans for that?

@woutervanlent Thanks Wouter :) GifPrint.com is awesome, but they don't actually ship the flip book. I don't really like advertising early on, rather see natural growth. I do think it'd be smart to partner up with sites like 9GAG, Giphy etc. to supply them with this for re-selling.

@levelsio i think you should see if you can reach @alexisohanian and partner with Reddit :p
Wouter van Lent
@levelsio Ah! Good catch! Thought they also shipped. Can imagine that you prefer natural growth, but over time it could be interesting to see if the advertising is profitable. Although partnerships could also be a good angle. Let's see who wants to jump in! :)

@Jonnotie Hahaha

@Jonnotie ... Are you saying the platform has an unhealthy obsession with GIFs? We could even start with just http://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/ or a similar community.... Could be fun.

And here's a 50% off at $15 for 3 flip books for all Product Hunters!

@levelsio Sweet thanks

Yay! So nice to be on here again @rrhoover. Too long ago :) My 12 projects are going pretty well, although I was heavily delayed by Nomad List taking off so much and all the attention it got. Now back to shipping :) @gregoiregilbert, I built this as a fun project and since I haven't seen anyone do it before yet. Here's my write up on why/how I built it, not very complex but still some work: https://levels.io/gifbook-the-an... This seems trivial, but if this works and you can extend it into printing Vine's, YouTube videos etc. you can grow it into something. Like what Social Print Studio did with Printstagram.

Congrats on the launch @levelsio aka "This Guy"! I'm always a fan of mixing up online & offline, this is a great example. How about a Reddit integration, would love to be able to 1-click-buy cool reaction gifs with my Reddit gold ;)
