I usually share example of compression result on my Twitter (as the main marketing channel for now), some of the videos was compressed more than 90% of the size, by re-encoding with h264 codec. Thanks for the feedback, I will update the website to add some example videos and images. For trimming without re-encoding, it's not possible in the current version

In terms of UI/UX, I believe Apple provides the best development toolkit and guidelines for developers. I'm not using any custom UI component for CompressX, it's just a few buttons, toggles and a video player, but the overall UI looks good enough and consistent with other applications in the macOS

You can start with getting your idea validated first by making a small demo or MVP and share it somewhere. For me, I use Twitter as the main channel to build an audience and share everything I do publicly there

10% of last month revenue was donated to FFmpeg. Thanks for clarifying

I have an audience on Twitter, so when I launch my app on Product Hunt, my audience helped to spread awareness of the launch. If you don't have an audience, I recommend building one. I also launch my app on other SaaS directories to get some traffic from them.

If you're a Handbrake user, you most likely won't need this app. The main feature that I think Handbrake users want to have is the automatic compress new files in a folder, and maybe integration with Raycast extension.
