@abhijith Thank you

@zenanythin Appreciate the detailed feedback, Zen! To answer your first question - right now it calculates and displays a Likely Output size range preview before encoding, but it doesn't auto-estimate the exact resolution or quality trade-off drop beforehand when hitting a strict target file size. That’s a really smart feature idea to explore!

And your second point regarding a clear notice that closing the tab cancels the job is spot on - definitely a crucial UX safety check for larger files. Thanks for calling that out!

@payamprivate Thanks a lot, Peyman! Spot on regarding the local-first WASM architecture, keeping it zero-overhead while guaranteeing total privacy was the core goal. Really appreciate the support!

@troopnestofficial Appreciate it! Yeah, hitting those exact Discord/WhatsApp limits without jumping through hoops was a huge reason I built it.

@glassdex Appreciate it! Yeah, hitting those exact Discord/WhatsApp limits without jumping through hoops was a huge reason I built it. Batch mode is definitely on the radar to explore next—thanks for the feedback!

@kmusleh Yep, under the Output Format settings you can switch between MP4, WebM, and even turn video clips into animated GIFs right in your browser. Thanks for checking it out!

Hey StartupBase community! 👋

I built Squish because I was tired of two major friction points with traditional video tools:

  1. Waiting forever to upload massive files to online compressors just to shrink them down.
  2. Giving up data privacy by uploading personal or client videos to random external servers.

What makes Squish different? It runs 100% locally right in your browser using WebAssembly (WASM). Because your videos are processed entirely on your local machine, they are never uploaded to a server. It’s completely private, secure, and instant.

As a side benefit for indie builders, because it's entirely client-side, the app runs with absolute $0/mo hosting or database overhead!

Core Features:

  • ⚡ Fast, browser-native video compression
  • ✂️ Precise video trimming before export
  • 🔒 100% privacy-first architecture (no server uploads)

I’d love to get your feedback, feature requests, or thoughts on the client-side tech stack. Thank you so much for the support! 🙏

This looks incredibly useful for creators, video editors, and producers who need quick audio cleaning or vocal extraction on the fly. UI looks great!

Lesson planning and quiz generation take up so much admin time for teachers. This looks like a massive lifesaver to help them focus back on the students. Great launch!

Cross-platform clipboard sync that actually includes Linux and mobile is a massive win. UI looks incredibly clean. Congrats on the launch!
