Quite OK Image (QOI) Format

Ran into this article today on a format seeing gradual adoption:

In particular, this part caught my eye:
"While Szablewski admits that QOI will not compress images as well as an optimized PNG encoder, he claims it “losslessy compresses images to a similar size of PNG, while offering 20x-50x faster encoding and 3x-4x faster decoding.”"
That's a feature that could be a real boon for video editing software that processes image sequences. QUI implementation is starting to pop up in several development libraries, so this may be something we bump into down the road.
