Plans to encode webp? #209

Open nomeata opened 2 years ago

nomeata commented 2 years ago

I was just wondering if one of my programs using JuicyPixels could easily provide webp pictures as well (the combination of lossy encoding and alpha transparency is interesting to me), but it seems JuicyPixels does not support it yet. Will it ever?

I see there is a webp package, but it’s not a Haskell native implementation, and that’d be easier in my case.

Given the complexity of new image format and shrinking free time (and to be fair, lack of interest) I don't intend to write a WebP codec for Juicy.Pixels.

If someone wants to impelment it I'll gladly integrate it (and maybe give him stewardship of the project)

Thanks for the response! I was more or less expecting that, but I thought I'd still open an issue, also for reference for anyone else wondering about this.

Thanks for your work on JuicyPixels!
