Ask HN: What percentage do images take up in your computer?

Hi HN! Hope your weekend is going great.I spent the last few months building a nice frontend (https://oimg.org | https://github.com/yunho-c/OIMG) to latest-and-greatest image codecs¹, because my computer was always full² and images were taking up a big chunk of it.https://assets.yunhocho.com/images/MacBongPro-Storage.pngI just reached a stopping point for the MVP and published OIMG to Microsoft Store and App Store. And before posting about it, I came to seriously question how many people will actually find it useful... because I don t want to waste their time showing something they won t find useful.So the question is: how much do images take up in your PC, either in percentage or absolute size?¹ like jpegli, oxipng, libjxl, etc—that can generally shave 30~50% off of typical PNGs and JPGs either losslessly or with visually imperceptible differences, respectively² despite offloading a lot of images and files to the cloud regularly. Apple s storage pricing really doesn t help hereAlso, if anyone does find OIMG potentially useful, and have any suggestions or feedback, I d really appreciate it!Thanks all!
