Lossless data compression in Go - Kanzi 2.1 released
1) Regarding the API being hard to use. Strangely I find "compress" hard to use. Maybe I just do not know wher to start with it ? I think the kanzi API is super simple actually: just create a reader or writer as described in the WIKI https://github.com/flanglet/kanzi-go/wiki/Using-and-extending-the-code. It is a one liner and it is the entry level for most cases. The reason for exposing all interfaces at the top level is to allow developers to use different pieces of the code directly in their project: say just use the bitstream code or, say, entropy codecs ... It is a deliberate choice to make those externally visible.

Ouch - simple compression and decompression for your terminal
archiver is also a very cool tool. I think its cli is somewhat similar to this.

folder to zip
https://github.com/mholt/archiver has a lot of helpers. Probably a good place to start.

Wormhole-gui 2.2.0 has been released
The next major release, v2.2.0, is out now. Most notably, this release replaces mholt/archiver with a custom zip extractor for faster directory receives and smaller binaries, adds settings for controlling advanced wormhole client options and a lot of smaller bug fixes. This release also incorporates the initial support for building on Apple M1 computers (release binaries for that architecture are currently not available though).
