I recently made an app that lets you discover tools like these. It gathers many tools and inspiration platforms in one place for designers. You might want to check it out: ToolDeck
Hi Ozan,
I checked out your app and it looks really great - I signed up :)
One quick note - I see that "Description" is spelled wrong when you click on each tool. You have it as "Descripcion". Just a heads-up, cheers!
Fixed the typo. Thanks for the heads up, I have no idea how did I miss it for so long :D
Nice man I definitely will! Thx
Nice app! I like it :)
Since I know many designers (myself included) use Macs, there's a free and open source app called ImageOptim that allows you to do what TinyPNG/TinyJPG does on your local machine. It's very lightweight and a bit more convenient. It also installs a helper to your context menu so you can just right-click file(s) and select "ImageOptimize".

sweet, is there a windows version?
AFAIK there isn't, but they do have a handy list of alternatives for Linux and Windows here: imageoptim.com/versions
