If you're curious how it works, untar http://bellard.org/bpg/libbpg-0.9.tar.gz and have a look at the post.js file.

I'm a designer, can't read code, and I'm trying to see if I should evangelize this at work. Its better if you could communicate with us non-technical folk and post an answer that the previous guy asked so that we other designers can also understand.

it waits till the page is loaded (window.onload)

grabs all image urls of a page

checks which have .bpg extensions

replaces all these .bpg img tags with canvas tags

loads all the images with Ajax and renders them into the canvas tags

If you're a designer, and don't understand the issues involved, you probably should refrain from evangelizing sub-1.0 versioned products.

Sounds like a plan. I don't need to be an early adopter
