TinyFast▲319I am a developer. I have been building stuff for the last 13 years. One common challenge in all my projects is compressing assets to make them as small as possible. I used to end up using online compressors, but this has a lot of privacy concerns. So, I finally set down for couple of weeks and built this simple app. I can just drag and drop assets in it and it shrinks them. It currently supports around 25 file types. I built a lot of iOS apps but this is the first time building a macOS app, so any feedback is welcome.

Smallimg▲7Hi HN, I built a free image compression tool called Smallimg.cc that runs entirely in the browser. The main motivation was privacy. I was never comfortable uploading potentially sensitive images to a third-party server just for compression. This tool solves that by using JavaScript and WebAssembly to perform all the processing on the client-side. Your files are never transferred over the network. Key features: Total Privacy: Your images never leave your computer. Incredible Speed: No upload/download time, just instant processing. Full Control: You can adjust quality, resize, and convert…
