EDIT: OK, I guess there's http://memeifier.com/, I'm less amazed now. :) Still, nicely done.
It's perfect for times when you know the perfect meme to use, but you don't have time to go thru Imgur or another site's Memegen.
Hmm, but then that wouldn't allow one to specify the link to other information about the meme (the copy).
Maybe if another website could host a json file, which contains a link to the main image?
And then one could make a bitly or similar link to the url of the json file? or maybe a base64 encoding or something?
So that one could link to http://memegen.link/external/gsU563KE3gb/_ which could yield
{ "direct": { "visible": "http://example.com/happycat/_.jpg", "masked": "http://example.com/_djcmbnidk.jpg" }, "_comment":"tbh I didn't really understand the markdown attribute so I am ommitting it here }
or something like that, so that one could then link to
http://memegen.link/external/gsU563KE3gb/hello/world.jpg to get something that looked like
http://memeifier.com/HELLO/WORLD/http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photo... ?
(or, alternatively , using
http://memegen.link/external/gsU563KE3gb/THE_TRICKSTER_GOD_T...
to get something that looks like
http://memeifier.com/THE_TRICKSTER_GOD_THEUTH_CAME_TO_US_AGA... )
or, hmm,
ok nvm idk how this would actually be best done.
I don't really mean to be asking "hey, can someone do this" so much as a "hey, would this be an interesting thing for someone to do?".
I like the json that this website uses. Cool website. Yes. I like it.
*A good source image
*All caps
*Impact font
*White text with a black border
Indeed, it's still hard to choose this set of options with the newest versions of MSPaint.Macroing takes away opportunities for human error, which does reduce the opportunities for creative mistakes. But it makes output consistent, which is the desire here. No longer does someone have to spend a week learning about good source images, fonts, and border settings, and need Photoshop to combine them, just to make others laugh.
