Upkeep is another story when you have thousands of customers using the API. It's not so easy to keep everyone happy, as image quality is highly subjective there's a quality tolerance spectrum which for the life of me I will never understand.

Windows support may be iffy, any PR's are welcome.
Does anyone know if their optimization methods still best-in-class these days? It’s been good enough for all my practical needs, but I know it’s been around for a while and there may be better techniques for some file types now.
However, IIRC, Squoosh was built largely by Surma and Jake; or maybe they were just the "face" of the project. Either way, at one point it even had a CLI.
Since their departure from Google, the CLI project was abandoned and it feels like the web app is as well.
As is usual Google things, I think it's a matter of time until some PM discovers squoosh.app, and asks "What's this?" and then the thing gets killed.
Perhaps this HN post will be the thing that does it.
