A Tinder-like application allowing you to swipe among trending gifs (using giphy API).

For a while I've wanted to try out elm. I've always been attracted to FRP (Functional Reactive Programming), and programming with signals.

This attempt gave birth to [Gipher](http://gipher.co).

Gipher has the main features we can find in any modern single page application:

- facebook authentication

- multiple sections

- live data sync with firebase

- animations

It's a good showcase of how an elm application is structured using signals, wired up with the start-app package.

This project is 99.9% elm, it contains only 30 lines of css, the rest of the styling is inline within elm (no javascript at all :heart_eyes:).

### Packages used (elm)

###### `Apanatshka/elm-signal-extra` provides more advanced features to manipulate signals

###### `Dandandan/Easing` is an amazing library to work with easings (useful for all kind of animations)

###### `ThomasWeiser/elmfire` enables you to interact with firebase in the most 'elmish' way

###### And of course a big thank you to [evancz](https://github.com/evancz) for all his work around elm:

  `evancz/elm-effects`

  `evancz/elm-html`

  `evancz/elm-http`

  `evancz/start-app`

## TODO

- add gif search by keyword

- reload more gifs

- make it work with touch events [(elm-html issue raised)](https://github.com/evancz/elm-html/issues/99 )
