In plain words

JXL.js is a JavaScript library that decodes JPEG XL images using WebAssembly, running in a web worker to avoid blocking the main thread. It enables web developers to display JPEG XL images in browsers without server-side conversion. The library is designed for developers building web applications that need to support this modern image format. It processes images efficiently in the background, keeping the user interface responsive.

    This is the entire Firefox browser rendering to a element. Gecko, all UI components, and the Spidermonkey JS engine are all compiled and running in WebAssembly. Here are a few things you might find interesting: - This is fully end to end encrypted! We use the WISP protocol for TCP-over-websockets. - There is a novel WASM->JS JIT for experimental site speedup - This port cost over 25k in opus/fable tokens for debugging and JIT research This was just a fun experiment to push the boundaries of WebAssembly. For a more usable "browser in browser" experience, we also built…

    There are lots of solutions already, but most solutions have too many ads or they process on server(privacy concern). Webutils convert all images on client using webassembly.

  • OnlyJPG – Client-Side PNG/HEIC/AVIF/PDF/etc to JPG2025 · onlyjpg.com · ▲64

    TL;DR: private, in-browser converter that turns pretty much any image file format into standard JPEGs. Everything runs locally. No uploads. This started as a five-minute job and forty hours later... I wanted to convert a HEIC without uploading it anywhere, so I wrestled Emscripten/WebAssembly to run Google's Jpegli inside a Web Worker. Now there's a small UI and it handles a bunch of formats. Just about the only thing it can't decode is JXL - but there's still some JPEG XL magic in there: XYB perceptual color quantization is enabled by default via Jpegli. The upside of all this…

  • Datagridxl2.js – Fast Excel-like data table library2022 · datagridxl.com · ▲301

    I'm Robbert, the creator of DataGridXL.js. Last month I released version 2 which includes many new features. DataGridXL is a free (and commercial) editable data table library written in ES6. My goal is to develop the most performant & user-friendly spreadsheet-like data table out there: - It has zero dependencies. You don’t need any framework to use DataGridXL. - It is lightweight (~250kb) and easy to use. It does not even require messing with CSS. - It has its own Virtual DOM implementation to prevent DOM errors. - Developer friendly. Supports all modern web browsers Please take a look at…

  • Investorsexchange.jl – parse trade-level stock market data in Julia2022 · github.com · ▲136

    Backstory: I wanted to play with intraday stock data but couldn't find a free dataset anywhere. IEXCloud [1] offers API access to 1-minute granularity intraday historical price data, but I was worried that it could get expensive or unwieldy to build up a substantial dataset via API calls. Plus, IEX gives out their raw data for free. I probably should have just used the IEXTools python library [2] to parse IEX's raw data dumps, but I was working on a Julia project, so it felt more thematically appropriate to build a new tool from scratch. I haven't been actively using InvestorsExchange.jl a…

  • I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
