The article mentions Bill Atkinson’s dithering algorithm, invented during his work on the original Macintosh. You can also read more about it here: https://www.evilmadscientist.com/2012/dithering/
It’s actually implemented in BitCam iOS app by icon factory: https://iconfactory.com/bc.html
And Emilio Vanni did a neat e-paper display experiment with it here: https://www.emiliovanni.com/atkinson-dithering-machine
An old acquaintance of mine, John Balestrieri, made a Mac app based on Bill Atkinson's dither algorithm too:
