Okay. Still not sure how I feel about this. πŸ˜…

libvips is a C library I’d been wanting to use in my iOS comic app for years, but its build toolchain is insanely complex (17 C dependency libraries) and I had no idea where to even start. 🫠

I’m equal parts blown away and skeptical as all hell. πŸ˜…
