This is impressive, I was curious if it was just better on simpler images with many duplicate pixels but it's nice to see it working well with photography too

e.g. https://phoboslab.org/files/qoibench/images/wallpaper/EwZDbL...

            decode ms   encode ms   decode mpps   encode mpps   size kb
    libpng:     148.4      3995.5         55.88          2.08     12223
    stbi:       161.0      1858.3         51.50          4.46     19199
    qoi:         60.8        95.6        136.49         86.78     12868

I'm interested if there's a standardized benchmark used in the academic literature this could be tested against

In any case the results are impressive enough that this will 100% be used in projects I work on!

Many thanks to the author for their work <3
