I’m pretty new to programming and only started learning it recently. I got into it because I needed a simple way to compress images without uploading my files anywhere. I couldn’t really find a tool that worked the way I wanted, so I tried making one myself. It started as a small thing on my computer, but a few people ended up asking if they could use it too. So I turned it into a little browser tool called CompressDog. Still learning a lot along the way, and English isn’t my first language either 😅 What are you guys working on these days?</p> webdev devchallenge tools beginners
