It looks like an imagemin/svgo wrapper, which are both great tools. You might consider not pinning your dependencies, so users get at least minor 3rd party updates without you having to release a new version every time.

That's some impressive documentation - did you write (and update) it all by hand, or is it semi-automatically updated from the CLI help page? Shameless plug for people who are just interested in the bookmarks part: I've created St

That's correct :) Additionally, this was just an extreme example, but the front page of HN currently has 237 occurrences of insufficient contrast ratio.

I've tried several epub readers after Edge dropped the support. It's probably not a popular choice, but I now use the CLI tools from Calibre to convert epub books to azw3 and then use the Windows Kindle app to open/read them.

This is only true, if you do not value your free time. In your example, you've spent 4h to save 200$, so your work was worth 50$/hour. A freelancer with a 100$/hour rate might do 2 hours of work instead, spend the money, and
