There’s so much going on in Windows that it can be hard to know whether my apps are up to date all the time. I’ll get prompted to update some of them when I boot my PC –– but the others? Gah! It’s anyone’s guess which versions they are.

I built a lightweight GIF decoder in pure C, ideal for embedded or performance-critical environments. It’s header-only, zero dynamic memory allocations, and fully platform-independent. Supports both static and animated GIFs, with turbo and safe decoding modes. Works great on microcontrollers, IoT devices, and anything with a framebuffer. Would love feedback or ideas where this could be useful.
