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.

Google Chrome Is Already Preparing To Deprecate JPEG-XL (~3x smaller than JPEG, HDR, lossless, alpha, progressive, recompression, animations)
That's not necessarily the case with the jpeg2png decoder, but it's been a while since I used it, and I'm not able to test right now. The PNG files will be smaller than with the usual JPEG decoding process, at least.

Losslessly Optimising Images
This tool optimises blocky JPEGs for a better viewing pleasure: https://github.com/victorvde/jpeg2png
> jpeg2png finds the smoothest possible picture that encodes to the given JPEG file.

Hello, PNG!
Pull requests welcome. :D

Are IDAT chunks in PNG encoded individually?
There are multiple github issues on the subject where we work on future editions of the PNG spec. (3rd Edition coming soon!)

Especially enticing as the PNG file format does allow for additional compression/filter methods and new ones could be added to a PNG 2.0 standard. A small wishlist discussion about that at the W3C's PNG specification Github.

QOI – The “Quite OK Image Format” for fast, lossless image compression
> But its not like any reader ever supports it fully, hell most readers dont support showing the other images in a png file.
Do you mean APNG? In all fairness, that is not even in the specification although there is discussion to add it. https://github.com/w3c/PNG-spec/issues/26
The one that was specified was MNG but it was a different format and practically no one used it since it was not parsable as a PNG.
What are some alternatives?
