I built a free image compression tool called Smallimg.cc that runs entirely in the browser.

The main motivation was privacy. I was never comfortable uploading potentially sensitive images to a third-party server just for compression. This tool solves that by using JavaScript and WebAssembly to perform all the processing on the client-side. Your files are never transferred over the network.

Key features:

Total Privacy: Your images never leave your computer.

Incredible Speed: No upload/download time, just instant processing.

Full Control: You can adjust quality, resize, and convert formats (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP) on the fly.

Accessible to All: It's completely free, requires no sign-up, and now supports 10 languages!

I focused on creating a clean UI and making it as fast as possible. I'm looking for feedback on performance, features you think are missing, and any potential bugs.

Thanks for checking it out: https://smallimg.cc/17:T427,I’ve always faked phone calls to get out of awkward moments — waiting alone at a café, stuck in small talk, or even a meeting that’s going nowhere. Pretending worked sometimes, but honestly it often felt more awkward than the situation itself.

So I started tinkering with a small project called ComfortCall: an app that actually calls your phone from a real number with short, natural scenarios (like a friendly check-in, a colleague reminder, or a safety call).

I’ve been testing this idea with a small waitlist and people have already suggested really interesting use cases I hadn’t thought of — things like: Needing a “mom call” to gracefully leave a friend’s house Having an out when strangers stop you with uncomfortable questions Feeling safer on a late-night walk Escapin
