• Can you build a recognizable World Map in under 500 bytes?

  Its a fun challenge. I used https://squoosh.app to make a pretty good one. Mostly just a resize and then OxiPNG for compression. Managed a 124x62 black/white image. OP has a resolution of 195x53, so I had very similar, but slightly worse I think? Mostly a different aspect ratio + map projection I think. Playing with Squoosh.app is very fun, and you can very easily see how the jump from 500b to ~1.5kb turns a map... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Free Browser Tools for Developers Who Make Content

  Every image goes through Squoosh before it lands in any repo I own. Drag the file in, pick WebP or AVIF, drag the quality slider until the preview still looks clean, download. The size reduction is usually 60–80% with no visible quality loss. It runs entirely locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere. For a performance-conscious developer this matters. Best for: Pre-commit image optimisation, blog... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Rust WASM vs TypeScript Performance: Why the 'Faster' Language Lost by 25% [2026]

  The Squoosh image compression app from Google is a great example. It runs codecs like MozJPEG and WebP entirely in WASM, processing large image buffers with minimal boundary crossings. Near-native compression performance, right in the browser. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Flutter App Taking Too Long to Start? Here's What You're Doing Wrong

  For images, tools like TinyPNG or Squoosh can reduce file sizes dramatically, often by 60-80%, with little to no visible quality difference. For your splash screen specifically, consider using a simple vector image (SVG) or even a plain color with your logo instead of a heavy raster image. Flutter's native splash screen supports this out of the box and it's blazing fast. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Your LLM can scrape the web — locally, without writing throwaway code

  The key line is the nested URL: {{{FromExp=fromJSON(fRes).author_key[0]}}} is an expr-lang expression evaluated against the current item (fRes) — parse it, take the first author key, splice it into the URL. Anything expr-lang can compute can become part of a request: pick a field, concatenate, add an offset, branch on a condition. And notice the output shape: each book keeps its own scalar fields while the... - Source: dev.to / 19 days ago
