As cool and impressive as Qoi is, as long as I can't just send it to someone it's sadly not a replacement for PNG.

Yeah, adoption's not a feature you can design.

The general idea may show up in any extensible format. Like a PNG encoder that only does Sub filter can encounter each pixel once.

... wait, PNG filtering is byte-level? It doesn't change with bit depth? Christ.
