There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.

The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.

I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.

It's completely bonkers that JPEG-XL is as good as it is and no one wants to actually implement it into web browsers

Adobe is backing the format, Apple support is coming along, and there are rumors that Apple is switching from HEIC to JPEG XL as a capture format as early as the iPhone 16 coming out in a few weeks. As soon as we have a full blown workflow that can take images from camera to post processing to publishing in JXL, we might see a pretty strong push for adoption at the user side (browsers, websites, chat programs, social media apps and sites, etc.).

Do you know QOI format ? I would appreciate your opinion about it.

[–] spartanatreyu 3 points 2 months ago

QOI is just a format that's easy for a programmer to get their head around.

It's not designed for everyday use and hardware optimization like jpeg-xl is.

You're most likely to see QOI in homebrewed game engines.
