Show HN: I am developing a type safe colorspace library for Rust (crates.io)

12 points by caramellow 4y ago ↗ HN

After two weeks of planning and figuring out how to manage conversions safely, I have finally published the first version of my crate :)

It allows you to specify your own colortypes and easily use the same syntax for converting between your custom color types!

I also started working on a custom image type that can do math :)

Why would someone use this over palette (https://github.com/Ogeon/palette)?

less implementation and extensibility complexity whilst aiming to provide complex and fast conversions that cannot fail for an image type suitable for image processing needs.

With the new release it appears to be at least 10% faster than palette I also implemented a ton of new features :)
