Allow users to export animated GIFs #16

Description

@fdb

When creating an animation, it would be nice if users could export the animation as an animated GIF.

This is challenging for a number of reasons:

  • The output are HTML / SVG elements, not a canvas tag, so we can't use something like GIF.js
  • The element we want to convert to GIF can be any element, of any size. The size can even change between frames.

One idea is to create a server-side renderer that could take seed sketches and render them in a headless browser, like Headless Chrome or PhantomJS. This would work as a webservice: we request a URL and it returns a GIF image.
