Read the full description

100kb-sdk is a client-side WebAssembly image & PDF optimizer for React, Next.js, and HTML. Instead of paying Cloudinary $99/mo, it compresses files 100% in browser RAM in ~25ms before S3 upload. Key Features: • Exact target-KB bisection (e.g. 50KB, 100KB) • Bypasses Vercel's 4.5MB payload limit • 100% GDPR compliant (files never leave device) • Cuts AWS S3 and Lambda costs by 85% • Includes <100kb-uploader> Web Component Free on npm with optional white-label license.

Could you build this?

Partial The JavaScript wrapper and upload logic are simple, but compiling and fine-tuning low-level image/PDF compression codecs to performant WebAssembly is specialized.

What it would actually take: Building this requires compiling C/Rust codecs (like mozjpeg, oxipng, and a low-level PDF manipulation engine) to WebAssembly via Emscripten or wasm-pack. The hard parts are tuning an efficient binary-search compression algorithm to converge on precise target kilobyte thresholds in milliseconds while managing browser memory constraints to prevent tab crashes on large documents.
