Hey really cool article, I wanted to read about custom HTML components for some time, and this is great !!!
Thanks for such nice explanation and walkthrough 😃😄
Edit : forgot to mention that this is such a great idea, to have play and pause for gifs. I have seen some pages where after loading the gifs would distract front the core content. I feel this should also be a great help for flashing/trippy text, where rather than warning one can give control to user what and when to run. Such a great idea !
PS : forgive me for saying this, but shouldn't the 'cure' in first header in the article be 'cute'?

Thank you so much, so glad you liked it! I was browsing some news website and saw the pausable gifs and thought "I could probably do that!" - and here we are. :) It's really all about observing and trying to rebuild, I also learnt a lot when writing this article. Features like these open up new possibilities for accessibility. Safari doesn't auto-play videos with sound, for example, that's a good start, but I've seen muted auto-playing videos as hero images that really shouldn't be auto-played...
Thank you for spotting the typo, fixed it :D
