Tech and all things bleeding edge is a personal blog at eek.ro about programming and web. Since 2015, 7 different Hacker News readers have linked it 10 times, most often “Why BPG will replace GIFs and more”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The linked posts cover the BPG image format, pitched as a replacement for GIFs, and AVIF. Commenters link the BPG article as a reference, and one reports problems running the BPG demo in a browser.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Eek's Blog is a blog about programming, tech and entrepreneurship.

What Hacker News says?
Right-click save as... oh. Not so much. View source, CTRL-F and... https://eek.ro/assets/bpg/ambition.bpg Kind of inconvenient. Not to mention it's a blank white empty space in Firefox, and probably anywhere else not currently supporting the format.

HN discussionThis is awesome! Love the equal size comparison. I've wrote a few years ago an article about BPG which also had support for animation - https://eek.ro/why-bpg-will-replace-gifs-and-not-only/ Does AVIF have any support for animations? Glad to finally see an royalty-free format starting to get traction.
