Maybe someone can correct me, but wasn't #JPEGXL half deprecated because the browsers didn't want to support it just a year or two ago? This article makes it sound like #Google was pushing towards it and fully supporting it. Excited to see some love for it though.

@jonsneyers Could you help me figure out whether this JXL trick is realistic or I'm trying to catch a ghost?

I'm serving image thumbnails on file shares and later on the web; some use cases just use 64x64px, some want 2k. Pre-JXL I'd have stored binary steps and told the browser in a srcmap. Can a progressive encoder drop hints like "for 128px, you'll be reasonably done by 4015 bytes"? (And then there's the question of how to tell the browser so it can request ranges.)

"so basically AVIF is the new JPEG, and JPEG XL is the new PNG."

#avif #jpegXl #jxl

A lot is going on in the Bugzilla issue for JPEG XL support… 👀

It really looks like JPEG XL is finally coming to Firefox! 😍

Hey @gianni I was just chatting with @yawnbox about a wild range of tech things, and, since I am starting to host an Immich instance in my home, I am considering to convert all my emails to JPEG XL, and I was wondering if there is a way to do so without risking to lose any metadata.

I am happy to read any links you might have but I need them to be as simple as possible because encoding/decoding stuff confuses me a lot. Not my thing… This is why I found your article explaining how AV1 works in simple words absolutely illuminating! Anyway, I just want to save storage space.

Also, I am a big big fan of Aviator, and I have been following your work for a while. Thanks so much for all of it!
