I built a free, open-source PDF compressor because my colleague kept hitting daily upload limits (fully vibe-coded)

So a graphic designer I work with had a recurring problem: every time he tried to compress a PDF using one of those online services, he'd hit the free tier's daily limit—one upload per day. That's it. One PDF. And he regularly needs to compress multiple files. I figured that was a pretty silly bottleneck, so I built pdf-squeeze —a simple PDF compression tool that doesn't care how many files you throw at it. It's fully vibe-coded (meaning I leaned heavily on AI assistance to put it toge

痛点：在线 PDF 压缩服务免费额度极低（每天仅 1 次上传），需要批量处理文件的设计师被迫付费或反复等待

目标用户：需要批量压缩 PDF 的平面设计师、办公文员，以及担心文件上传隐私的用户

证据：every time he tried to compress a PDF using one of those online services, he'd hit the free tier's daily limit—one upload per day. That's it. One PDF. And he regularly needs to compress multiple files.

变现：免费开源版引流，做本地/自托管的付费桌面版（批量队列、质量预设、自动监控文件夹），或给企业提供私有部署授权与按量 API

MVP：2 周内用 Tauri 或 Python + Ghostscript 封装一个离线批量压缩桌面工具：支持拖拽多个 PDF 文件、3 档压缩强度预览、文件夹批量处理、完全本地不上传，并支持命令行调用

竞品：Stirling PDF、iLovePDF、Smallpdf、Adobe Acrobat 在线压缩、pdf-squeeze（本贴开源项目）

摘要：作者同事使用在线 PDF 压缩服务时，被免费版每天仅 1 次上传的限制卡住，而他又需要批量压缩多个文件。作者用 AI 辅助做了开源免费工具 pdf-squeeze 并发布到 GitHub，主要是求代码审查反馈。帖子没有任何付费意愿或收入数据，且该领域已有大量免费工具和 Stirling PDF 等成熟开源替代。
