Components
The open-source project ZAPPL doesn't have support for gif images as uploaded gif images appear as still images.
Proposal
The developers need to consider adding the gif code to the Zappl open-source project while it's still in its beta stage.
Mockups / Examples
This is how it originally looks like after posting gif images on zappl
And this is a mockup of how it could look like if gif permissions were given
Benefits
Adding the gif permission to the site would add more life to the front end of the site, as well as stimulate community engagement on posts made through zappl. This would go a long way in making zappl more fun to use and build the right media outreach that the project needs. Users should not only be able to post still images alone, they should also be able to post their gifs, gifs carry a lot of message than still pictures.
