What is the motivation?

Hello I found your work via the bottom utility. Well that was a nice app.
What is the motivation behind this project?
Can you also outline a bit of your implementation strategy?
I ask these questions purely out of academic curiosity.
I have done something similar in spirit with this project, that might also interest you!

Motivation
The answer is kinda simple tbh - just for fun. I had looked into the idea of creating a tool for "polifying" images for a while now (probably over a year ago), and it seemed like a fun little project. I only recently (relatively speaking) had time to give it a shot.
It isn't really a project I intended for "serious" use, I guess (at least in its current form). It's mostly one done for fun.
As for why I did it in the way I did (WASM support, written in Rust), it was again mostly for fun, as well as just as a good "reason" to dip my toes into the WASM space, and seeing how integrating a WASM library into a web application/page would go. And it was pretty fun!
Implementation strategy
I heavily based most of the algorithm on this paper by Crystal J. Qian, modified to work with image-rs and imageproc as required. There are certainly improvements to make to both the library and the WASM implementation.
I'll definitely also check out your project!
