Hi everyone,

I built a small tool called GitShrink to solve a simple problem: making videos small enough (<10MB) to upload to GitHub.

It runs entirely in the browser, so nothing is uploaded anywhere.

It’s a small, local-first tool with no accounts, no tracking, and no backend.

Use cases:

README demo videos Small product demos Screen recordings for GitHub

Feedback is welcome.

I often find myself needing to quickly check an API response — just to see what it returns or grab a specific field.

For more complex stuff, tools like Postman are great, but for quick checks they sometimes feel a bit heavy. On the other hand, using curl or writing a quick script also breaks the flow a bit.

Curious what others here use for this kind of “quick inspection” workflow.

Do you have a go-to tool or habit for this?
