RSSHi HN,<p>I built slimg, a CLI tool for image optimization written in Rust.
It handles format conversion, compression, resizing, cropping, and extending (adding padding) — with batch processing support.<p>Codecs: MozJPEG, OxiPNG (Zopfli), libwebp, AVIF (ravif/dav1d), QOI, JPEG XL (decode-only).<...

Hello HN, I’m Dan (aadivar), one of the two people working on AttentionGuard.<p>I built it because I was tired of social media websites pushing algorithmic content at me, while preventing content I actually subscribed to from being shown.<p>e.g. My wife has an art channel on YouTube with over 200K f...

Wonderfully simple CUDA to AMD compiler. From "Building":
# It's C99. It builds with gcc. There are no dependencies.
make
# That's it. No cmake. No autoconf. No 47-step build process.
