comb.io is good for those occasions where you need the actual clip with audio.
Just my own opinion of course!
The GIF generator works well. Nice work!
You could probably delete some of the frames that have credits shown over them - since you have plenty of material already anyway, for example: https://frinkiac.com/caption/S17E16/137763 or https://frinkiac.com/caption/S16E09/162162

Awesome to see you're on HN. I'll take the opportunity to say thanks for this service! We're of that cohort who grew up on the simpsons and it formed a large part (a majority?) of our humour.
Brings joy and laughs to my friend group at least!
I use Frinkiac multiple times a week to share memes with friends. We all grew up watching S1-8 weeknights over dinner and can quote those episodes almost flawlessly.
Would love to read some blog posts on how the site works, anecdotes from 10 years of maintaining it, legal troubles faced (etc)!
> What a country!
Can't find other clips by quote.
Sometimes Grandpa talking about wearing an onion on his belt is important.
It would be great to add the meme mode to the gif rendering so it was captioned.
I wanted the scene where Homer is pulling an all nighter and orders Marge to put the coffee pot on. Search terms 'coffee pot' and hey presto:

I do wish the search was a bit better; it could show the matching quote below the matching frame, and it doesn’t seem to support phrase queries.
A more advanced feature would be searching by speaking character too.
When I use Frinkiac, I already know the quote (or at least a few words from it), and I simply want a still or short gif of it (with a customized caption typically).
YMMV of course.
I’d guess famous characters like Bart and Marge and other Simpsons characters would likely be known by the tokenizer so it’d be pretty easy. So then you’d be able to guess.
Feel free to correct me on small details if anyone has this more fresh in their mind but I’m roughly correct here.
edit: Though it seems to be somewhat outdated.
Kids these days with their on demand streaming don’t understand the monoculture :)
Great job.
