The quality reduces a bit but since it uses quantization algorithms it only removes data not visible to eye. So not much visible quality loss

I can’t believe TinyFast.app made it 3rd place on #producthunt in just a few hours!

I did one change: build a product for devs and hackers.

Over the years I’ve learned a lot about long-term app maintenance, cross-platform challenges, and keeping codebases alive, shifting frameworks, database migrations and OS updates.

Here's to all the solo indie App Developers out there!

Fast forward 12 years, that simple timer has grown into an ecosystem: Android, iOS, Wear OS, Apple Watch, and a coaching platform. All built solo, with no AI assistance, and redesigned 4 times to keep up with UI trends.

In 2013, I couldn’t find a decent interval timer for my workouts on the Android Market (Google Play wasn’t even called Google Play yet!). Could you believe that? Typing 'interval timer' returned nothing! So I decided to build a simple App while in college.

ChatGPT5 made me think…

What if someone decides to build an AI virus that scans network vulnerabilities, detects if it’s able can fit on target hardware and copy itself. Was not possible before, but now smartphones can host large ai models. What do you think?
