PEP: A New Ultra-Efficient Compression Format for Pixel Art

PEP: A New Ultra-Efficient Compression Format for Pixel Art

PEP is a novel image compression format specifically designed for low-color pixel art (≤16 colors is optimal, up to 256 colors are supported). It uses "Prediction by Partial Matching, Order-2" compression, which is 2-10x slower than GIF, PNG, and QOI, but often compresses images 20-50% smaller than GIF/PNG (and multiple times smaller than QOI). If compressed image size matters, PEP is for you. It sits somewhere between GIF and WEBP in terms of speed/compression tradeoff. This is currently experimental, but a C header is provided for use.

decode-kit: A Lightweight TypeScript Runtime Data Validation Library

decode-kit is a lightweight, zero-dependency TypeScript library for validating arbitrary runtime data. It uses assertion-based validation that refines your types in-place—no cloning, no transformations, and minimal runtime overhead. decode-kit validates your data and narrows its type directly; your original values remain unchanged. It employs a fail-fast approach, throwing a detailed error on the first validation failure, including the location and expected schema. Supporting various data types (strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, objects) with configurable rules, decode-kit outperforms libraries like Zod due to its in-place type assertion, making it ideal for performance-critical applications.
