Knusperli: A deblocking JPEG decoder

Unacceptable. Even though swiss-german doesn't have any spelling rules, I hereby declare a public vote to deport google from switzerland, because it's clearly spelled "Chnuschperli" in proper swiss-german.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot HN is allergic to jokes, obviously this is turning into reddit. I apologize.

So what does Knusperli even mean? It seems to mean “crunchy” or something from a Google search but Translate turns up nothing. Is the meaning at all related to the project, or is it just a cute name?

Yes, it means "crunchy thingy" basically. The name doesn't have any relation to the project. It's small pieces of fish fried in a dough mantle.

I was jokingly complaining about the spelling because the previous names "Brötli" and "Zöpfli" of similar projects were 'properly' spelled. They don't have anything to do with the name either. "Brötli" and "Zöpfli" are basically types of bread.

While Knusperli is a very german way of spelling a swiss german word. Though, it is what you would find in a supermarket.

Yes, too obscure of a joke, sorry :(

No need to 'joke' about deportation. That's what disgusted me.

Yeah, I should have considered global cultural influences more before posting. Sarcastically joking about deportation is probably a bit too swiss for an international audience to recognize it as such. Let me assure your though, this was an attempt by a swiss person desperately trying to be funny.

Obviously it backfired.

Knusperli could also refer to a type of bread.

(Also Google's Zopfli and Brotli are already missing the ö / ü Umlauts, so maybe improper spelling is intentional.)
