Random Code Inspiration Volume 2
image-shrinker is a simple, easy to use open source tool for shrinking images. Under the hood it uses pngquant, mozjpg, SVGO, and gifsicle. You can also install these tools individually if you need to compress some images. I often use pngquantafter exporting PNGs for web projects from Figma or similar tools. I literally run it like this:
-
keeping collection size down (for ankiweb) when needing lots of image cards/notes
Searching more I found https://pngquant.org/ which I could add to my bulk workflow to make most png's approach the jpeg size.
-
screen capture/snapshot utility with image optimization support/configurability
But this did prompt me to do some searching, and I see https://pngquant.org/ which seems to achieve jpeg like size reduction while maintaining the file as a png. One difference they note is that this method will typically preserve sharp edges better than jpeg (which is probably a strong plus for my type of use case)

Optimising hundreds of gifs, offline
If use PNG you can use pngquant 2 for instance. More modern image formats may also compress your images further.

Ask HN: Small scripts, hacks and automations you're proud of?
I write a lot of extremely simple but handy shell functions.
This one lets me drag/and drop things out of a terminal session (kind of) into applications with https://github.com/mwh/dragon and i use it way too often!

[OC] XFiles: A modular X11 file browser (WIP)
I'm used on a terminal workflow (ranger fm in the past, switched to lf) on a desktopless wm. I prefer it that way, the only thing missing is drag 'n' drop functionality, mainly for web apps. There is dragon but I'm considering installing a light gui fm for the job.

"Super Buffer File" and Dragon integration
Yeah, some amount of extra explanation would have helped. I'm using this with a local program (https://github.com/mwh/dragon) that creates a pop-up GUI window (independent of Emacs) for "drag and drop" functionality. It only works with files on the local system, so the purpose of super-buffer-file is to create a local file associated with a buffer if one doesn't already exist, and return the name of that file.

Is there a way to use an external file picker on Linux?
Not a direct answer, but maybe still useful… They way I handle this is using a drag and drop tool.

TUI file manager killer functionality that never gets implemented!
I know there is dragon and the feature would require a terminal that supports it, but being able to simply select files and drag-and-drop them into a browser upload without requiring an additional window would be awesome.
