I made a tool to create animated typing GIFs and videos

Hacker News

There are several javascript libraries for creating animated text on web pages, but I thought a tool for less technical users could be useful. Also it seemed like it would be fun to make, and I wanted to exercise my React skills a bit. I've kept the number of features relatively small to keep it simple and actually get it released early. So I'm hoping for feedback on how well it works and what it needs in order to be useful for anything!
