HTML is a native image format, hear me out

The article proposes HMML (HTML as a native image format) as an alternative to traditional raster images, arguing that AI-generated content should be delivered as composable, editable documents containing vectors, text, 3D elements, and animations rather than flattened pixels. Instead of manually assembling multiple AI-generated images with custom layout and styling, developers could fetch a single .hmml file that contains the entire scene ready to mount, significantly simplifying workflows while keeping all elements individually editable and reusable.
