Messer, image resizing/optimization in the macOS status bar

Hi Hacker News! Wanted to show you my latest project, Messer: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/messer/id1586304988?l=en&mt=12 (clickable link in the comment) It's a small native app for the most basic task of all: converting, resizing and optimizing images. I'm currently trying to grow my following, which means I post images a lot, however, these images need to be in a specific format/ratio. Usually, I would go to one of the many websites that resize and convert images, but the experience is subpar and it's a drag to do this multiple times a day. Therefore I…

    I 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.
