I plan to release a cross-platform CLI tool first. The core tool already works under *nix. But there's still a good portion of business logic in the app.
The work on a cross-platform GUI is happening too, but it is way slower than I anticipated. It's going to be native or nothing. I don't consider Electron or QT as an option.

#4> First tool for automatic image compression that just works
If you search "image compression tool" on Google you'll have millions of hits of products that do the exact same thing. You even list a bunch of competitors on your website. What makes this the first?

We've updated the submitted tagline from “First tool for automatic image compression that just works” to one from the page itself.

#6FYI in firefox (62.0.2) some 'before' images look different.
In chrome they look identical. Perhaps the source images included gamma information?
CRS-4 Mission Launch by SpaceX (less contrast, less color saturation in 'before')
Jellyfish photo by 贝莉儿 NG (much lower blue saturation in 'before')

Electron I understand, but what's wrong with Qt?

#8Off-topic, but at the bottom of the page there is this quote from Jay Walker at TED 2008:
> “It takes the energy in one lump of coal to move 1 MB of information across the net.”
I wonder if it's still true today, 10 years later.

#9Pedantic quibble: shrinking is optimizing for size. I deal with a lot of shitty images and size is the last thing I care about. I'm sure it does a great job at making things smaller but that's not the only kind of optimization there is.

#10Could you do this as an Adobe (Photoshop) add-on? Wouldn't that be a bigger market?
