m2fkxy on HNMy god this is so bad, I love it. (bad in a taste way, not in the engineering way)
yapyap on HNVery clean, it just works!

Sympathy for the rejected job application

Requests
Add text captions like DEAL WITH IT
From 3 comments
It's great. I wish you could paste an image URL too, that would be slick. Oh, and it would be cool to have an option for the meme text to go under the image too, and to appear in…
jihadjihad on HNthis is great. feature request: DEAL WITH IT caption and relative options

Per-glasses frame delay and animation
