jtperreault / gif_app

A Rails app for saving/tagging/searching gif and gifv URLs from around the interwebs.

About This Application

This app was born from my personal struggle using Google to find specific reaction gifs. Really I just want to drop a couple keywords, tags even, into a search box and get the gif I was looking for.

I wrote this with Ruby 2.1.2 and PostgreSQL as the DB, you'll need them both. Previous versions of Ruby will likely work, though untested for now.
