first, well done, works great, love seeing folks building things

second, whats special about this vs a desktop app like https://imageoptim.com


Thank you! And to answer your question, some people don't want or even can't to install externall apps and they look for online solution running on browser. And the fact that by installing apps you give access to your PC while not for something in browser. Also the size of download for this matter is less on browser (it's just everything in more simple ways)


It's not you — It's me.


I had to double check myself at least a half dozen times, too

"We built it, it worked sometimes, so we threw it all out" is either the most honest engineering blog post I've read in a while or the plot summary of every project I've ever worked on.

It feels like the teams getting AI workflows right are the ones willing to iterate toward simplicity, figuring out what they're uniquely good at and letting the rest of the ecosystem handle the rest.

That loop of build, learn, simplify is quietly producing better products than "build the whole thing" ever did.


Tangential but reminds me of the backlash Clair Obscur got after they had AI assets in their early development. https://www.polygon.com/clair-obscur-expedition-33-indie-gam...

Feels like a nobrainer at this point to "build fast with AI, prove its use, then tear parts of it down and make it good"


Just wanted to flag the use of the little "jump back to where I was reading" links on the footnotes is a feature I'll be implementing and using on every footnote I ever write for the rest of my life now. Thank you!

These days, it needs to be very clearly an example project/feature/whatever the take home is.

If it even remotely smells like "real work" I'd be inclined to pass. I don't need to do work for free, or use my tokens for them either
