What's going to be the next Quite OK thing?

  Hopefully a movie format

    MPEG1 is actually quite OK

  Quite OK Food. It tastes like sand but the shelf life is above average.

    Sounds like soylent. (except my direct experience with soylent leads me to think super-processed isn't that OK foodwise)

    Sounds like freeze dried backpacking food, except at $20/meal, it's not quite OK.

  Quite OK browser. It doesn't have webgl, webgpu or other fancy and easy to exploit stuff, but it renders 95% of websites and source code is easy enough to be maintained with very few people.

    maybe links2 or dillo?

  TinyVG follows the similar goals: an alternative to SVG with a specification which trades off features for simplicity. https://tinyvg.tech/ https://tinyvg.tech/

  Quite OK JS Plotting Library (QOJSPL, nice, sounds like my cat walking on the keyboard). With an intuitive, documented API that doesn't require you to dig through tons of examples on sites that take ages to load. Because, no, a massive stash of non-orthogonal examples does not replace a documentation. AKA last Tuesday morning frustration : I wanted to make interactive plots on a web page to explain math stuffs.

  The author wrote a very simple MPEG[1] decoder, so there's an obvious benchmark for making that even simpler. I personally wouldn't mind a Quite OK Page Description Langage. Something that gets you most of PDF/PS/HPGL without all the effort. Could use the Quite OK Image Format for bitmap images. Not sure whether you'd need a Quite OK Vector Format and/or a Quite OK Font Format as prerequisites… [1]: https://phoboslab.org/log/2019/06/pl-mpeg-single-file-library https://phoboslab.org/log/2019/06/pl-mpeg-single-file-librar...
