The QOI format is relatively easy to understand, explained in a single page pdf file. I found it very interesting, knowing nothing of image encoding/compression.

It's great but it's an entirely different beast, being both lossless and designed to be fast and minimal above everything else. It works by minimizing the overhead of encoding deltas and run-lengths.
