It is neither a secret that sex sells nor that Internet development is heavily influenced by pornography.

I know the great image viewer pornview (which I replaced with gthumb some time ago), but today I found another interesting piece of code made for viewing pornography: libpr0n. It is described as

"the smallest, fastest and most standards compliant Mozilla image library ever made"

According to the f.a.q, the aim is

"to render pornographic images in an efficient way"

which reminded me of the sentence "The Internet is for porn.".

By the way, I found the library by digging into ikiwiks buglist, which references the lack of html5 support in ikiwiki, which made me interested in HTML5, which seems to be developed quite open by the editor Ian Hickson, who writes a blog and has an index of websites he is related to, which referenced to libpr0n.
