@movq I never heard of this format. Are you using it?
@lyse Yeah, I use it in several places. Even my window manager. It’s *almost* trivial to work with (you have to swap byte endianness on x86_64, which makes it a little bit awkward … but there’s not really a way to avoid that). All other image file formats I know require either big libraries or just have too many options (number of colors, number of channels, yadda yadda). Reading/writing farbfeld is pretty simple compared to that, see lines 60 and 157: https://www.uninformativ.de/git/tuxeye2/file/libff.h.html

@movq Ha, very cool! I need to play around with this format.
