I built ImageTight because I was stuck.
I was developing an offline book-reading APK app with 600+ pages of images.
The folder was 500MB. Google Play Store has a 150MB limit.
Every tool online either had a 5MB cap, required server uploads, or cost money.
So I spent 3 weeks building my own solution using WebAssembly.
The result? My 500MB folder became 132MB. App approved. Problem solved.
Then I thought: Why keep this to myself?
