Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

It's the future – you can stop using JPEGs
Would be interesting to see how all those jpegs fared if run though ECT (https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool). I’ve found it can save a surprising amount of space sometimes.

How to make the most out of my storage
Ah, I misunderstood you there, yes you can build it from source but there are also Windows binaries available on https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool/releases/

Possible support for new image formats
Did you think about adding support for newer image formats? Video shouldn't be a problem because you already support .mkv and AV1 works within it. How would implementation work? Does ES-DE use libraries from the OS and makes this support easier for that? My biggest gripe are those big .png files. I optimized them with ect but it won't be as good as newer formats can be.

OptiPNG vs. PNGcrush vs. Gimp to Reduce PNG Size
There are a myriad of PNG (and in general DEFLATE) optimizers and pingo hosts its own benchmark [1]. I believe ECT [2] is the only tool comparable to pingo in terms of compression ratio and speed. But pingo still lacks a license statement and it's even unclear whether you can use this for any purpose at all, probably because it is still "experimental", so if you don't like that you can try ECT instead.
> One thing I didn't check is that you might pay that in decoding time, I've never seen anybody talking about that though.
PNG and in general DEFLATE-based formats are mostly free from this concern because they are comparably simple. The maximum "overhead" you can intentionally trigger is a very large LZ77 window and a very deep Huffman tree; the former is however capped to 32 KB in DEFLATE, and the latter will mostly result in an inferior compression (a long prefix code means a larger file).

Friendly reminder for anyone making HD texture packs: run your PNGs through OptiPNG first.
I personally prefer ECT, since that gave me the best results when I tested it several years ago.

Best quality .png?
ECT is the new stuff that is much faster and more efficient than zofpli

Open source Image compression app? [Win10]
Efficient Compression Tool Basically the best FOSS for lossless compression for .png and .jpeg, although not the quickest.

image turned green after using cjxl(version 0.3.2) options were -q 100
I get the same issue. However, it seems that using ECT on the images fixes the issue: https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool

OptiPNG vs. PNGcrush vs. Gimp to Reduce PNG Size
If anyone is interested in lossy PNG compression, please check out my project at https://github.com/foobaz/pngloss
It doesn't compress as well as JPEG or other formats that are designed to be lossy. But if you need PNG for some reason like alpha channel or application requirements, or if your image is particularly well-suited to my compression algorithm, it might be a good choice.
What are some alternatives?
caesium-image-compressor - Caesium is an image compression software that helps you store, send and share digital pictures, supporting JPG, PNG and WebP formats. You can quickly reduce the file size (and resolution, if you want) by preserving the overall quality of the image.
