Building an online image compressor
One of the most complete image compressor out there, squoosh.app by Google, uses web assembly for decoding/encoding images and it works pretty well.

Improve performance of Go serving a React frontend
First off you want to shrink your images. Every mb your page is the more it will hurt your score. I use https://squoosh.app/

Power Consumption of JPEG, WebP, and AVIF
https://squoosh.app/
Having a quick look at squoosh, it uses lossy compression of webp by default.

What makes a page rank well?
Size images appropriately (https://squoosh.app/ can be used for this). Ideally, the size of the image should be kept below 100 KB.

my live site keeps jumping back to the top of the page while I'm using it
if your images a large file size, remove them from the page, reduce file size, and place new reduced file size images in their place - publish the site to bring the new pics live - clear your cache - go the page and test it (good tool to reduce image file size is Google Squoosh - https://squoosh.app/ )

Can anyone recommend any decent plugins that let me adjust jpg quality on export for web,
I'm just exporting normally from Figma, but then using squoosh.app (browser based) to adjust quality/compression and even for making sure png files are optimized for prod.

Ask HN: Anyone looking for contributors for their open source projects
I'd like to make a pitch for Openlibrary.org the free online library from Internet Archive that includes a fulltext search of millions of books.
I've been volunteering with them on and off for several years and it's always a lovely experience. Their backend is python and frontend mostly from python templates and some Vue for librarian stuff.
Every Tuesday they have a call on Zoom that everyone is welcome to join to share what they're working on, ask for help, and generally chat a bit. It's a great time.
Depending on what you're interested in there's a lot to do from helping build import pipelines for more book entries, writing bots to cleanup data, Performance improvements, better documenting public APIs, etc
I'm currently slowly working on a wikidata integration for their authors page. We also could use some help upgrading to Vue 3, mentors for Google summer of code would be helpful, find of ML projects needing help, moving away from old jQuery libraries, etc.
They can be quite responsive to PRs too like I blogged about here: https://blog.rayberger.org/idea-to-merged-in-less-than-30-mi...
For example, here's a small issue that could use some help on the python side: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/issues/8928

Building an Open Source Decentralized E-Book Search Engine
OpenLibrary does provide search access to full texts. For example: https://openlibrary.org/search/inside?q=%22institutional+thi...
It is open source and they're always looking for contributors. I think they'd especially welcome help improving search!

MLIS books available digitally?
Check out https://openlibrary.org. You can search ´library science’, librarian’, etc, and something should come up. Just select the ‘ebooks’ option to search for items within the collection. And you can narrow the search by subject, etc.

NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month
Right now I'm in the middle of the chicken and the egg problem where we don't have enough authors cataloging their publications and b/c of that obviously readers are not interested in using the site.
I've gone back and forth with taking Open Libray's [0] catalog as that would at least flesh out our collection of books but then I'd have to deal with verifying authors to accounts so they can access their books. Which sounds like a major headache and also just defeats the concept of building a community.
Since this is really a weekend project, I'm just going to keep building the tools out to perfection and hope people will trickle in over time.
Luckily for me I just want to write, so the tools I'm building are exactly what works for my writing goals and I think overtime others will find the same value.

is there any way to read books for free?

YSK: You can access many old and out of print hiking books from the Internet Archive's Open Library
The Internet Archive runs what they call the Open Library, which is a unique concept on the traditional library. You can sign-up with minimal details and digitally check out many scanned books from libraries all over the world. The only caveat is that almost all of the books are older editions - ones that would be impossible to find locally. It's great if you're looking for old routes, a look back in time, details about obscure areas, or just prefer to read a book rather than browse AllTrails. Please do still support local authors whenever you can as guidebooks take hundreds of hours to create and are slowly going extinct.

Searching for a pharmacy book
I want to clarify that I'm a non-US citizen, so accessing physical copies from US libraries or buying it from Amazon might not be feasible for me. To give you some context, my personal research was guided by the wiki section of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH (https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/wiki/reading/). I've conducted research using various online resources, including the Ebook & Open Source/Access Libraries such as Sci-Hub, Z-Library, Library Genesis, Anna’s Archive, and PDF Drive. Additionally, I've checked Torrent Search Engines like The Pirate Bay and BTDigg. Moreover, I've searched in Internet Archive and its Open Library but again I had no luck. However, I haven't yet explored software-based libraries. Finally I've looked into the Ebay if anyone had the particular book but it looks like both the versions are quite rare, because the book was meant to be only for Pharmarcist and especially for American ones.
