But they didn't even explain what FUIF or PIK might be in that section or even the entire article!
To understand that article required me searching for FUIF [1], PIK [2] and a brief explanation of what JPEG XL is trying to achieve.
I double down on my "complaint" - I'd call it constructive criticism - that article was poorly written. It's actually quite a good story that their Free Universal Image Format (FUIF) has achieved what it has. That's a great acronym, especially for a world that thinks JPEG XL is a good acronym! Why not put in in the article.

- Dylan16807 3y agoThat's a fair criticism, though personally I feel like "it was a candidate to be the next JPEG" is enough information here, even if it's a bit barebones. There are several levels of detail you could go into about how the codec works, and this article decided to stay quite light.
