Squished is a privacy-first file tool I built to do something most compressors get wrong: process everything on your own device. No uploads, no accounts — your files never touch a server. Under the hood it uses WebAssembly to run real compression and conversion right in the browser, fast.
It started as a "why does this have to be so annoying" itch and turned into a genuinely useful tool. Building it taught me a lot about pushing heavy processing to the client and keeping a tool dead-simple.
