I wonder if you could use this for some kind of "secret" message. Or perhaps like a parity system like RAR files had back in the day to rebuild any of the other images if one were to get lost.

I think you’d just have a worse version of normal steganography methods

I feel there's a lost opportunity in not naming this project Emosaic or even Mojaic.

I see, your README actually says that but I just skimmed over it and went by the HN title, my bad. Cool project BTW!
