How Hackerman would create an image just by typing 0 and 1 – a deep dive to GIF
I absolutely love the "What's In A GIF" series. It's what inspired me to write my own GIF decoder while learning Erlang at the same time: https://github.com/avik-das/giferly
The first time around, I struggled a lot with decoding errors. Many years later, after being a more experienced developer, I wrote the LZW decompression with unit tests. Doing so forced me to think about each edge case, and fix issues without breaking existing functionality. Very quickly, I was able to open pretty much any GIF file I threw at it!

How Hackerman would create an image just by typing 0 and 1 – a deep dive to GIF
There's a cute plugin[0] for Vim which converts any image to XPM, which is a similar format that Vim has syntax-coloring for. You can edit the text, and then on save, it will get converted back to the original format. I've used it a few times to quickly preview an image or edit a favicon. It's more of party trick than seriously useful, though.

Good use cases for replace mode?
I suppose it would also work well with vim-afterimage :-)
What are some alternatives?
