Hey!

My image IO/manipulation library, _Inumon_ , is now available on Nimble. I am 
aware that there are existing libraries that wrap _libpng_ and _libjpeg-turbo_ 
, and even implement basic image manipulation; but a combination of poor 
documentation, inelegant or unstable APIs, unresponsive developers, and lack of 
community have made me fall back to Python's _PIL_. So, that's why I've been 
working on making Inumon.

My short term goal is to implement (and document!) a good set of 
manipulation/CV features, and refine/stabilize the API. My hope is that Inumon 
could become a standard of sorts within Nim that helps the language be adopted 
by developers/projects/teams/businesses who need this kind of functionality. Of 
course, long term maintenance is also a primary goal.

So if you have any need for image IO/manipulation/CV functionality that falls 
outside of what existing libraries can do, I would greatly appreciate if you 
could work with me to implement them in Inumon. General contributions out of 
kindness are cool too! To be clear, this is not about wrapping existing C 
libraries (that's only needed for IO with libpng and libjpeg-turbo, which I've 
already done), but designing our own nimonic/nimsy/araqal library.

I hope everyone is doing well despite this crazy year so far :)
