Gifgrep

**Overall judgment:** `gifgrep` is a focused, well-scoped tool that provides a strong terminal-based workflow for searching, previewing, downloading, and post-processing GIFs from Tenor/Giphy. It excels for developers and power users who live in the terminal and want to integrate GIF handling into scripts or a TUI. **Strengths:** - End-to-end GIF workflow (search → preview → download → still/sheet) in a single, composable CLI/TUI. - Good automation hooks via `--json` and `--format` for pipelines and scripting. - TUI browsing plus optional inline previews (Kitty/Ghostty) make selection fast and visual. - Flexible still and sheet generation with control over frame count, columns, and padding. **Key risks / limitations:** - Depends on external APIs (Tenor/Giphy); breakage or rate limits can reduce reliability and require valid API keys (GIPHY_API_KEY mandatory for Giphy, TENOR_API_KEY recommended). - Content is sourced from public GIF providers, so there is potential exposure to NSFW or off-brand material; additional filtering or moderation may be needed in professional contexts. - TUI and preview experience is best in specific terminals (Kitty/Ghostty); other environments may not support thumbnails or may need configuration tweaks. - Heavy, automated scraping or bulk downloading could conflict with provider terms of service; usage should consider API and licensing constraints. **Recommended scenarios:** - Developers, SREs, and technical users who want fast, keyboard-driven GIF search and download directly from the terminal. - Teams that frequently share GIFs in chat/PRs and want quick stills or sheets to keep documents and PRs lighter-weight than full animations. - CI or local tooling that needs programmatic GIF lookup or conversion, leveraging `--json` / `--format` output for integration. - Documentation and blogging workflows where frame grids/sheets provide quick visual summaries of GIF content without embedding animations.
