MAZANOKE is a simple image optimizer that runs in your browser, works offline, and keeps your images private without ever leaving your device.
Created for everyday people and designed to be easily shared with family and friends, it serves as an alternative to questionable "free" online tools.

Highlights from v1.1.0 (view full release note)
I'm delighted to present some much-requested features in this release, including support for HEIC file conversion!
- Added support to convert
HEIC,AVIF→JPG,PNG,WebP. - Paste image/files from clipboard to start optimization.
- When setting a file size limit, you can switch between units MB and KB.
- Remember last-used settings, stored locally in the browser.
The support from the community has been incredibly encouraging, and with over 4500 docker pulls, the project is now humbly making its way toward a 500 stars milestone.
The project also received its first donation, which I'm incredibly grateful for!
As a Lemmy user myself, I totally get the sentiment. GitHub isn’t ideal, and I had also considered Codeberg in the past (not for this project, but way back for others). Unfortunately, the simple reason is that the community is already on there, which makes getting contributions and engagement much easier. Managing and tracking issues across two platforms would be quite (mentally) taxing, which is on top of the effort already going into developing the app.
I understand :) But unfortunately, I will not create an issue on GitHub. Hopefully, someone else will do it in the future.
