Tips

Keep text concise — 1-5 words have the most impact

Use hyperlinks by default — faster, works everywhere

Use GIF export for Signal/iMessage — inline images look great

Always use share=yes in hyperlinks — skips landing page

Match emotion to message — excited for celebrations, emphatic for important stuff

Dark mode looks better — dark=true is usually the way to go

Use sparingly — if every message is animated, none are special
