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

When I press &quot;back&quot; on my browser, it doesn&#x27;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.<p>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&#x27;ve noticed:<p>* Aspect ratio is ignored causing many images to be cropped.<p>* Some gifs go on so long that the screen blanks on mobile devices. Where do I tap to keep the screen alive?<p>* Social network sharing links?<p>* A feature to star gifs as I go along and then share them all at once to &lt;insert network here&gt; 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&#x27;d like a filter for items flagged as &quot;nsfw&quot;<p>This one was embarrassing: <a href="http://hugegif.com/#r/perfectloops/1ys9hb" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hugegif.com&#x2F;#r&#x2F;perfectloops&#x2F;1ys9hb</a>

I dig it. It looks like linking to a specific image does not work:<p><a href="http://hugegif.com/#r/reactiongifs/1yxipe" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hugegif.com&#x2F;#r&#x2F;reactiongifs&#x2F;1yxipe</a>

some gifs are not properly resized : <a href="http://hugegif.com/#r/gifs/1yzv2t" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hugegif.com&#x2F;#r&#x2F;gifs&#x2F;1yzv2t</a> , we can&#x27;t see the full content ;)<p>edit: link to the original : <a href="https://24.media.tumblr.com/15521bbe61104a84cf9c3cc824de3ca9/tumblr_n1lt6qA6AJ1rwnxnho1_400.gif" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;24.media.tumblr.com&#x2F;15521bbe61104a84cf9c3cc824de3ca9...</a>

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

I can&#x27;t view the page on my Nexus 5. it&#x27;s just a thin line of something!

It just gives me &quot;Not Found&quot; 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.
