Enhancements

The hackathon MVP covers the core loop well. Here's where it could go next.

Quick wins

• Batch compression — let users paste multiple texts and compress them all at once
• Export history — download past runs as a CSV straight from the History tab
• Named presets — save favourite token budget + model combinations and reuse them
• .env support — load config from a .env file instead of setting env vars manually

Worth building next

• Iterative compression — if the quality score drops below a threshold, automatically retry with a slightly relaxed budget
• Custom focus instructions — let the user say "keep all numbers" or "preserve action items only" before compressing
• Chunked compression — handle inputs that exceed the model's context window by splitting, compressing each chunk, then merging
• REST API — a simple /compress endpoint via Flask so other tools can call TinyPress programmatically

Longer term

• VS Code extension — compress selected text without leaving the editor
• CLI tool — tinypress compress --budget 500 input.txt for terminal users
• Hosted version — a SaaS wrapper with usage tracking and team history
• Domain-specific fine-tuning — train a compressor specialised for legal, medical, or code content
