alt Hacker NewsEnough keyframe-based "image" formats, please! The internet and the world at large needs a real and proper modern format, not some quick hacks from bored engineers that only contribute to the endless fragmentation online and do not leverage any existing infrastructure for serving video. There's more than just crappy ultra-low-quality thumbnails around. WebP, AVIF are the webscale equivalent of serving images.

How would that leveraging work?

This sounds insulting? But they are images on the Web. I have no idea what you mean here.
Say more please, what’s up with keyframes?
