Looking at the tables, it’s hard for me to see why I would use it over e.g. PNG.
I have to admit though, the source is super short and looks really clean. That could be enough of a selling point!
I wonder if it’s safe against untrusted input.
when I have time, I want to make some more comprehensive benchmarks with this format, since the ones on the repo are quite barren and don’t seem to paint any kind of real picture
I really like all these specialized file format projects (qoi & qoa to name the most popular). this kind of experimentation can bring a lot of new ideas to the general sphere of thought regarding existing file formats and their strengths & weaknesses
