Show HN: I tried to build the ultimate Reddit gif viewer with Backbone.js

When I press "back" on my browser, it doesn't take me back. This is up there in annoyances with people stopping their car in a merge lane, websites that auto-play music, and people who speak exclusively with cliches.

This should be at the top of your list of bugs.

It does not do anything when I click on the buttons, Firefox 27 on Windows 7.

Some things I've noticed:

* Aspect ratio is ignored causing many images to be cropped.

* Some gifs go on so long that the screen blanks on mobile devices. Where do I tap to keep the screen alive?

* Social network sharing links?

* A feature to star gifs as I go along and then share them all at once to <insert network here> or save them would be nice.

Pretty awesome! Gif size goes up really quickly based on length, image size, dithering etc. So a lot of people reduce those so that their gifs are smaller and can load quickly. So maybe a full-screen treatment is not the best idea!

I'd like a filter for items flagged as "nsfw"

This one was embarrassing: http://hugegif.com/#r/perfectloops/1ys9hb

I dig it. It looks like linking to a specific image does not work:

some gifs are not properly resized : http://hugegif.com/#r/gifs/1yzv2t , we can't see the full content ;)

Does it support gfycat (GIFs converted to HTML5 videos)?

I can't view the page on my Nexus 5. it's just a thin line of something!

It just gives me "Not Found" when I press any of the subreddit buttons.

this is awesome, but it would be really sick if there was a sidebar with the list of posts in a given sub.

There goes the rest of my day.
