Users like fast websites. That’s one of the universal rules of web development. To attain faster speeds, it’s common to use a process known as “minification” to compress the file size of JavaScript and CSS. Yahoo developed one of the most commonly-used tools for this, a command line program called the YUI Compressor. This open source project has become integrated into many other tools, including numerous websites that will minify any JavaScript or CSS you paste into a form field.
Minimus is a GUI frontend for Yahoo’s YUI Compressor. Instead of using inconvenient and slow websites to compress your JavaScript and CSS, you can do it right on your Mac.
Add files to the queue by dropping them on the Dock icon (or by using the File menu) and press the Minify button to start the process. In no time at all, copies with a .min.js or .min.css extension will appear alongside the originals.
Minimus is a free download, but donations are appreciated by the author if you find the app useful.
Requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
