It's been 12 years since I last updated Quick Resizer, a Mac App that... quickly resizes images.
I built it because I hated waiting 10s or so to launch Photoshop just to scale an image for my blog.
I let Claude fix 3 bugs and port it to Swift (under my guidance), and it's now hit 2.0, and works better than it ever did before (and waaaay faster on modern Apple Silicon). Plus it still runs on Intel, at least macOS 13+!
It's still $0.99 as it always was: apps.apple.com/us/app/quick-…
And now I can again stop launching Photoshop's monstrous husk of an app just to scale down photos for my blog.

Of course I don't want to "Sherlock" your app, but the built-in macOS Preview app has a batch resizer as well. I use it all the time!

True, there are now like 40 other ways to do it better. But apparently this app still sells 5-10 copies/month even without being Apple Silicon native haha.
One takeaway: simple native apps are easier than ever to build! (See also @lonseidman youtube.com/watch?v=CFY_gHuM…)
I'm still not migrated to Hugo, but I think it should be possible to put a code that resizes the images directly there no? Just thinking out loud...

There's a good one nowadays at quickresizer.com I think (no affiliation!)
