As i get friends onto riot mostly the first thing is "how do i send and search gifs"

Is there an opposition to looking at adding something like giphy directly into the UI?

(So I lied. But this one is really my last comment for the night. I promise. Honestly.) Would this be covered by sticker support, if the stickers could be GIFs?

I think this is covered by the sticker api at least. Probably can close this one.

...except it isn't, as the sticker API isn't a GIF keyboard. I can't search for "arrested development" and get a selection of memes to pick from.

Having this same conversation with someone right now. Their words not mine:

Also, it won't be mainstream until it has gifs
gifs are everything

My boss comes in my office once a week and wants to have an update on the "gif-thing-status in the new chat software"

This really feels like something that should be in Element, I've put a bounty on it:

Added to this, no chat app can persist in this world of memes and custom emojis without the functionality to share them easily

The bounty is now at US$125, after an additional contribution by myself and itsthebatman
