I’m confused about that too. I did come across this though: https://tools.replitpuzzles.repl.co/

I remember something about how images can look different when you make them bigger (“expanding?”) based on the resizing algorithm

I also expanded all of the node modules folders and I can’t find anything there :cry:

Consider how you are able to compress and expand archives on Replit (hehe)

Wait… I had no idea you could do that with gifs!

shhhh you probably don’t want to reveal that lol but idk this is my first puzzle

What can you do with these options?
