On: JPEG XL converter and .jxl viewer

Do we need a vibecoded "monkey pushes buttons monkey gets banana" web app for every image codec? What kind of luser that can't be bothered to use a simple CLI or at least open GIMP (inb4 grandma, grandma doesn't care about image formats).

Probably 90% of users have never used a cli and will never use it. As for gimp the vast majority of users don’t know it exists either.

1. I'm not sure why using a simple CLI is better. 2. I'm not sure why using GIMP is better. 3. Even less sure why GIMP might be considered easier, for a task like this. 4. Personally, I love how discoverable many tools like this are.

wdyt?

Do I look like I know what a JPEG is? I just want a picture of a hotdog.
