Looking at Swish Connect who have a small plan which ends up similar cost to Neocities. I found them through the Green Web directory which lists web hosts who are carbon neutral and they're also Australian so I don't have to deal with currency conversion. https://app.greenweb.org/directory/
The quick way to convert a whole folder of GIFs to PNG based on the first frame of the GIF is to use magick mogrify: magick mogrify -format png *.gif[0]
I checked how this works on my phone and the button works as expected. If you single tap a gif it seems to activate focus until you tap off so you can still toggle animations for individual gifs.
also works for me in firefox ^^ it shows up as a little document icon next to the star bookmark icon in the url bar
Thank you, I can see the listing was updated.
