#slackmoji

Here is the magic incantation I've found creates the best animated gifs for use as emojis in Slack. Powered by @kornel 's gifski:

ffmpeg -i INPUT.gif -vf "format=yuv420p" -f yuv4mpegpipe - | gifski -W 128 -H 128 -Q 55 -o OUTPUT-compressed.gif -

Make quality -Q vary until size is just below ~128k. For some reason, Slack's limit is not exactly 217, but not 128000 either.

Pretty proud of this contribution on https://cultofthepartyparrot.com/ I give you the Party Pear. I have been doing a lot of 🍐 programing lately and it felt like we needed a better, dare I say, more partified emoji for it

We spun up a new #Slack at work, and I've been spending far too much time making new emoji for it. #MBTA #Slackmoji #Boston
#TIL that #SlackMoji has probably every possible variation of #OldManYellsAtCloud emoji that I will ever need 😅
