What's the use case then?
- noodle 16y agothere has to be a use case?
- sjs 16y agoOf course not! But if there's no use case then this is getting an awful lot of buzz for no real reason other than Ajaxian running a story on it, considering that it's not that new. http://blog.nihilogic.dk/2008/05/compression-using-canvas-and-png.html http://blog.nihilogic.dk/2008/05/compression-using-canvas-an...

- noodle 16y agoas the ajaxian article stated, i believe that people are trying to make use of it to squeeze the most out of the size-limited javascript contests that are out there. but, i've not seen an entry that does yet (haven't looked that hard though).
