But it would be nice to know what type of program "popi" is.  The author
of the README should have mentioned something like "an editor of pixel
groups" or "tools for manipulation of rasterized pixel arrays".  Those
two are just my guesses from the references to photographs, as I don't
know if popi is several programs nor whether it manipulates arbitrary
pixels or arrays of fixed-size pixels.

Kleenex is famous for facial tissues, Kodak sells cameras, and Jello's
competitors also sell gelatin.  I don't know what a "popi" is, but there
should be a short descriptive term for what it is.
