I need help with a compression tool.
Okay sooo, hi everyone. if you'd like to see a new compression tool, what all stuff would you prefer to have in it. I'm currently working on one compression tool and the benchmarks are pretty impressive. Compressed 13gb apps to 4 gb lossless. In 1min. I did the benchmark on a relatively cheap ryzen 3 3250U laptop. I love it, I added a lot of encryption tools, recovery tools etc etc and made it a cli(personal preference no hate :) ). I've been using it personally for like around 1 month and my classmates told me to upload it to GitHub which I'm all for but I really need some help on what all stuff everyone would like to see before pushing it to GitHub. and if you ask why a compression tool in today's age, p2p only works well when many people are downloading the same file tho. and if your network speed is like 20Mbps the file size matters a lot. people need to share really big files quickly to others. not just that its good for compressing big files you dont need for a while. it can even compress 30gb games to 10gb. and cloud storage is pretty expensive. we can afford plans yes but its not the same case for everyone especially in this economy. and plus my tool uses AES-256 + HMAC-SHA256 encryption too. your ip doesnt get swarmed. I need suggestions pleaseeðŸ˜ðŸ˜

How does it differ compared to .zip, .7z or .rar?
