Wow, and you only started programming in October?! Nice work!

Interesting format. Wonder what applications make use of it.
- I used it in a few microcontroller projects, let me get away with the cheaper 8 bit microcontroller with 64K of flash. The streaming decoding is real nice, because it can be read from flash and sent of to a display, without ever keeping it in ram. (4K!)
  
  Huh wow. Super interesting. Probably a dumb question: could you use it for video, like motion jpeg (or MJPEG or however it's named)?
  
  That's super smart!
