* https://github.com/jatindhankhar/flif: I made this little fun app for the Flockathon. My app was inspired by the stock giphy extension which lets users upload gifs by specifying a keyword but this was limited since user cannot select the GIF he wants, one of th gif from relevant to that keyword is uploaded. So I introduced an app that let's user select the GIF that he/she wants and send/share it to somebody. Youtube demo can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O3rFn4KPng&feature=youtu.be
