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…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

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 created a fully native app that does this for me, converting an image takes a second and since it's deeply integrated with macOS it works by simply dragging and dropping, first you drag your image to the menu bar, adjust your parameters, and then drag the image out directly where you need it There are a couple more features I would like to implement like an embedded code formatter (a la carbon.now.sh or ray.so), so if you know of a Swift library that can output colored/formatted code, let me know. Enjoy! (and please rate if possible!)
