I'm sure, but most use cases for archives isn't to reduce file size but rather have them neatly packaged into 1 file.

If I wanted to save space on my device, I'd probably use a tar ball or 7zip. And even then it depends a lot on what kind of files are being compressed. Images and music files don't nearly have the same level of compression as text.

Edit: 7z supremacy

It's not solving anything novel that zip isn't already doing and zip format already has the benefit of reaching the market early. The slight benefit will be overlooked until a big marketing campaign sways a huge population (like iPhone adapting it as standard)

Windows and mac both support .zip natively, until 7z joins this category there's no reason for an average person to manually download an extra software they've never heard of like unarchiver or 7-zip

Zip is a standard format, there's a reason for having standardized workflows and no one should be punished for using those. If I primarily use 7z I'd still send zip archives like you said.

So funny it works and the creativity is genuine. I'd sip it, don't know the language but could be Bangalore?

The higher price might also help him be motivated to update the app frequently. I'd still be on the lookout for alternatives and the hate sync is getting is pretty rash atm.

Youtube premium is $2/month in my country, sync is one time $25.. Would have to say it's kinda expensive and not buying it anytime soon.

It's the cost, not the idea taking people back.

Sync for reddit then sync for Lemmy.
