Not safe for work. Pornography advertising.
I get a cut of the monthly fees when somebody signs up for MetArt.
How many of those formats were available on all Android phones in 2017?
Answer: None.
Today I'm using it as a concrete example of H.265 (BPG) as an astonishingly good alternative to JPEG in applications where you control the encoder and decoder.
It used to be that most computer programmers ("hackers") understood the value of privacy.
This app uses an unusual image codec (BPG) which illustrates that if you control the encoder and decoder, you can choose a format with no mainstream support. I think it is a good point.
Here is a side-by-side visual comparison: http://xooyoozoo.github.io/yolo-octo-bugfixes/#ballet-exerci...
Amazing.
I ported his BPG decoder to Android ARM for a pornographic app. See my comment history for details. It reduced data transfer by more than 60%.
For example, a scheduled interview was abruptly cancelled the night before. I pursued the matter through a friend who had a senior role at the hiring company and it was determined that the (middle-aged female) in-house recruiter had been deeply offended when she followed the link on my resume and had cancelled everything. Eventually, I received a sincere apology from the CEO.
There is a real stigma, and it will affect you. Beware.
Surprisingly, almost 5 years after being published, this app still serves thousands of user sessions per day. That rate continues to slowly grow.
Except for its user interface, the whole app (client and server) was written in Go (https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/gomobile).
It uses densenet feature vectors (https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.06993) to allow "touch-to-search" (ha!) with a fractional norm distance metric (https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.23...).

Simply put the APK on a webpage and link to some instructions for installing an untrusted APK. For example, see http://driftwheeler.com
In particular, look at the "Can't install?" link.
If people really want to use your app, they will gladly do a little work to install it.
The images are not generated.
uses a custom brute force search in CUDA, based on bitonic sort (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitonic_sorter) and a fractional norm distance metric (f=0.5, i.e., sqrt):

In 2017, on a low-end GPU, the indexing took about 10 minutes of 100% utilization, for a dozen patches covering each of 50,000 images (feature vectors were 1,024 32-bit floats).
After that, the app just queries a precomputed list (256 precomputed matches per query) depending on where in the image the user pressed. Even with hundreds of simultaneous users, it can hardly keep a $5 Linode busy.
Good times...
This app, published in 2017, has a continuously growing population of users from all over the world. I get email every day asking whether soft1 is the only server, thanking me, suggesting improvements, etc.
It's ironic, and there is a lesson to be learned here.
But if you Google "porn app", the 4th or 5th search result (SexTechGuide) is a page that features the app, with a review, pros/cons, and the funny icon.
Other projects I've published have a trickle of users. But this app, published in 2017, has a continuously growing population of users from all over the world. I get email every day asking whether soft1 is the only server, thanking me, suggesting improvements, etc.
It's ironic, and there is a difficult lesson to be learned from this reality.
