GIPHY Dancing Stickers are all the Hype(r)
April 20, 2018 by

Mission
Make this jazz corn dance across my terminal window whenever I deploy code via Github.
Introduction
I’ve been using Hyper, a terminal emulator built with Javascript, for a while now and I love it. It’s built with React, which is the same technology that powers the front-end of GIPHY.com. It’s very customizable and, with a little React/JS knowledge, you can make it do whatever you’d like.
I chose to harness this power to make stickers dance around my screen whenever I would perform certain actions. The plugin was hacked together in a few hours for pure enjoyment purposes but more features are totally welcome in the form of pull requests! I may also be adding things here and there.
Installation
Go to your preferences and add “hyper-giphy-stickers” to your plugins list.
