Webp actually solves a ton of problems if you're a creator rather than a consumer of digital images.

@sun which problems it solve for creator?

@vertka one file format with:

animation
lossy encoding
alpha
24-bit color

very small size

@sun
So what you're saying could be summarized as an ounce of laziness by a developer causes the pounds of problems for end users?

It's kind of like the reason everything new sucks really is just piss poor quality programmers.

@fluffy the only shitty programmers here are the ones that didn't update their software immediately to support webp.

@sun @vertka jpeg-xl has all that too btw

webp definitely got there first and should be more widely supported than it is

@sun
There's a counterpoint to that I believe is valid: a lot of updates break things—I would say it feels like all of them, and make things worse, and so fundamentally the idea of updates has become a contested aspect of being an end user.

Either way, the problem looks like laziness on the part of a programmer.

@fluffy I kind of agree, with the caveat that sometimes after a long time there are improvements and you should improve by including them.

@feld @sun @vertka avif is a dropin replacement for webp. literally better in every way.

@sun @RedTechEngineer @vertka Avif is limited to max image size of 4K without tiling and then you'll have to deal with seams is my understanding

Webp limited to 16K

@sun @feld @vertka isn't it basically the same thing but with VP8 swapped out for AV1 🤔
