This looks like a fun project indeed!

Unfortunately every time I read something about minifiers I got the feeling that people are optimizing the wrong problem.

If you gzip data over the line it's already compressed. So minifying your stuff will only help you a little.

The problem is on the client side. You can compress what you like but if the browser starts dropping frames because it has to compile/handle a ton of Javascript and CSS then minifying doesn't help the end user.
