View submission: I'll miss you /r/place
The /r/place canvas is only 2000x2000, so basically a static Fullscreen image.
The color gamut is like 16 different possible colors.
It's really not a lot of data at all, if you know what you're doing. Honestly it would make a great systems design interview question.

well its 2000x2000 and not exactly consistent so it isn't that compressed
​
the main impressive part is sending out the diff's every half second or so for 4 seperate 1000x1000 canvases and doing so fairly reliably

Remember, this years' place also stores the usernames assigned to every pixel as well. Hopefully each change is timestamped individually and not overridden
