📢: A few days ago, @opensea updated their frontend and changed NFT rendering from using an <img> tag to a <canvas>-based renderer.
As a result, DinoSprites no longer animate in the collection listing view and now appear as static images. Users have to open an individual NFT’s detail page to see the animated version.
Would it be possible for @opensea to add a collection-level setting that allows projects to opt back into the <img> rendering mode? For fully on-chain animated NFTs like DinoSprites, preserving animation directly in the collection view makes a huge difference to the overall experience.
Cute little dinos in my wallet
@opensea wen animated gifs, these dinos do a lot of funny things rather just standing for a parade.

Fully on-chain is probably the coolest NFT technology out there, especially when the NFTs are animated. On top of that, you can have a Tamagotchi-style experience with them.
If OpenSea’s UI could support calling functions directly from NFT contracts, that would be incredibly cool!
