Today i was causally looking through github when this github users winstonrc&#x2F;README.md had a cool flashing cursor.<p>LINK: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;winstonrc">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;winstonrc</a><p>Wow thats cool. how did they do it. Opening file in new tab reviled its. wait what? a png file? this has to be a error. NOPE! turns out a file format called APNG animated PNG, allows for animations by extending a normal PNG file past is normal end byte length. very interesting.<p>Possible Use cases: Animated Profiles for websites that disallow .GIF&#x27;s<p>Enjoy!
