Show HN: Faster Internet for the Middle Class
I've got a 1000$ iPhone and I'd prefer performing extra computations if it means I can open gmail in super slow internet.
Every byte counts when internet is slow. This repo finds header data and compresses it. If people are interested I'll add more features.
Contributions are welcome!
- treebeard5440 3y agoNeat idea!
- muragekibicho 3y agoThank you!
- remram 3y agoWhy not run a VPN or proxy with compression on?
- muragekibicho 3y agoThanks for the question! I'm already using a proxy. This repo is all about the software running on the proxy server. We're finding extra bytes 7Zip may overlook. Each byte counts!
- remram 3y agoI guess I don't understand what this software does.
- quickthrower2 3y agoI imagine lossy compression on things like video could be cranked up further than YT might do. Or try more compressive algorithms.
- quickthrower2 3y agoTo get the best lowfi Gmail experience just use an email app. Leverage the async nature. But anyway… great project!
