That gif went by way too fast.

If anyone is confused like me: It looks like Github will now show PDFs inline.

It took me a minute to figure out that the GIF was a demo (and this had nothing to do with rendering PDFs into realspace using a 3d printing robot), and the page was from github's official blog.

There really needs to be a standard "pausible gif" format for stuff like this

Isn't that a benefit and reason to use html5 video over gif formats?

You mean webm? :)

I actually mean a format where (1) the number of frames is quite small and (2) the pauses between frames are there by default and transitions have to be triggered by a user action.

Sorry about that. I've updated it with a slowed down version :)
