It would be very funny if Amazon gets back to where Internet started... curated directories. Not necessarily à la Yahoo! but a modern collaborative system, with help from some ML would do. My friends at Slant would agree :)

APNG is also a very good way to achieve that! No limits in the number of colors, better compression. No patents? All major browsers now support APNG, Chrome being the last in the bunch :) For example, we use it in our README screencast for

Oh yes, I remember we were using this among attendees at WWDC to write full notes of the talks! We didn't know each other but spread the connection parameters between neighbors.

You can also rewrite to C++, OCaml, Go... Each language has benefits and drawbacks, and there is good reason for each them to exist. Would your project benefit a lot from algebric datatypes -> OCaml is a great fit! You want to port as so
