Why did I build compress10mb

I’ve always enjoyed playing video games and recording clips to share with friends. But social platforms like Discord or Facebook have strict file size limits, which often made sharing difficult. Sometimes I had to upload videos to YouTube just to send them around, which felt slow and inconvenient.

Most online video compressors I tried either had their own limits — like capping file size, restricting the number of compressions per day, or locking features behind paywalls. So I decided to build my own simple video compression app as a side project.
