What it does

Images and videos are bigger than they should be. They eat disk, bandwidth, and slow everything down. We tried the usual mix of tools, flags, and formats. It worked… sometimes. We just wanted something consistent. So we built Optimo: a CLI that makes media smaller, every time. Built on ImageMagick + FFmpeg. Free and open source.

Optimize and convert images and videos using format-specific commands on top of ImageMagick and FFmpeg.

Free, open-source CLI that optimizes and converts images and videos using format-specific compression built on ImageMagick and FFmpeg. They add up. Disk space goes first. Bandwidth follows. Then everything gets slower than it should be. So we tried optimized them. Like everyone does. A mix of tools, flags, and formats. We weren't looking for perfect. Just something that works every time, without thinking about it. It takes images and videos and makes them smaller. Less storage, faster transfers, no surprises. PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, JXL, GIF, SVG — each with simple, format-specific commands made for the web. MP4, WebM, MOV, MKV, AVI, OGV — FFmpeg-powered compression with sensible web…from optimo.microlink.io

    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.

    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…
