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.

Ask HN: What was your last “ah-ha ” moment?
I was trying to create PDF files from photos taken with a phone camera (aka docscanner) and tried to compress as good as possible, when I realized that PNG supports 1 bit mode, with a palette of only 2 entries...
Combined with adaptive thresholding (e.g. Sauvola) this resulted in extremely compressed but still readable images.
I wrote a little C# tool called shrivel for my requirements: https://github.com/sandreas/shrivel/blob/main/shrivel/Comman...
- Losslessly Optimising Images
What are some alternatives?
ImageOptim-CLI - Make optimisation of images part of your automated build process
guetzli - Perceptual JPEG encoder
PNG-spec - Maintenance of the PNG specification
squoosh - Make images smaller using best-in-class codecs, right in the browser.
zopfli - Zopfli Compression Algorithm is a compression library programmed in C to perform very good, but slow, deflate or zlib compression.
Zpng - Better lossless compression than PNG with a simpler algorithm
oxipng - Multithreaded PNG optimizer written in Rust
libavif - libavif - Library for encoding and decoding .avif files
