One click image optimization for GitHub

In plain words

ShrinkRay is a GitHub integration tool that automatically compresses images in repositories to reduce file size and improve deployment speed. Built for development teams, it optimizes image assets to decrease API response overhead and improve caching efficiency. The tool addresses common performance issues in microservices architectures where image bloat and cache inefficiency can significantly slow down deployments and increase bandwidth costs.

From the sources

The move to microservices was supposed to make your architecture leaner and faster. Instead, a lot of teams ended up with API responses that are 30–50% heavier than their monolith days, thanks to aggregation overhead, duplicated fields, and distributed N+1 patterns. Let's talk about what actually went wrong — and how to fix it. Cache busting sounds like a performance win, but done wrong it turns your CDN into an expensive revolving door — constantly evicting and re-fetching assets your users already had. We break down the real math behind caching ROI and the patterns that quietly drain your infrastructure budget. That tidy little package.json file is lying to you.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
