Firefox has had basic support behind a flag for a good while, but it needs some work -- their code is missing things like transparency and colour profiles. Sadly mozilla have laid off a lot of their dev team and they don't have much ca

libvips has had libjxl support for a couple of years now, including in our fuzzing and build systems. Everything is pretty much ready to roll, and would have brought support to downstream projects and users like sharp, ActiveRecord, imagina

nip2 has `.ws` files for storing workspaces (just a big chunk of XML), and `.def` files for its own scripting language. The nip2 scripting language is also very odd: it's something like dynamically typed Haskell, but with classes. You

Hey, thanks! I think I liked the idea of being tiny in a huge void, so the ship is small and only accelerates very slowly. It has a couple of fun secret keys: - hold "P" for slo-mo (handy for debugging) - hold "I" for a

Everyone has done one of these, but I can't resist posting the asteroids clone I wrote to teach myself webgl: http://jcupitt.github.io/argh-steroids-webgl It works on phone (touch to fire, hold to accelerate), desktop
