Comment on JPEG is Dying - And that's a bad thing | 2kliksphilip

People don’t need to give a shit, you just need websites and servers and applications to produce and convert images to the new format and the rest will happen "by itself’
It should be pretty much invisible to the users themselvea

I’m a developer and I like the format
