- debugnik 1y agoNot even Google supports webp uploads in many of their web apps, and it's their format.
- chillingeffect 1y agoCould it be a lack of resources? Or some missing expertise? Maybe they could find some interns who are familiar with it? Maybe the entire world is so obsessed w AI, we don't even care about image formats anymore.
- pixl97 1y agoHonestly this kind of stuff happens all the time in large companies. Interns won't want to work on a dead end like this. Moreso they need to be supervised by someone that doesn't want to get removed by being the lowest X% usefulness in a company. So all these existing tools that aren't primary revenue generators just sit on coast mode.
- chillingeffect 1y agoThank you for the nice response... in contrast to those I deserved downvoting. You'ee alright.
- upcoming-sesame 1y agoIf you are using an image optimization service like Imgix / Cloudflare Image Resizing then it doesn't really matter, image can be uploaded as any supported format and will be sent to the end user according to their "Accept" header
- hsbauauvhabzb 1y agoif you’d like to go and implement that in all the millions of existing web apps, go ahead? Let’s also not forget the dependency mess that leaves in applications before we do though..
- account42 1y agoDemand more from you file manager then.
- hsbauauvhabzb 1y agoSure, ur then it’s my image viewer, my phones image viewer, the website I try and upload pictures to. This isn’t a problem you can solve by patching one application, and it’s not one the world as a whole cares about. Better image formats serve entities who store images at scale, not end users.
