You wouldn't, as you know about handbrake. Not trying to be a jerk- but serious.

I saw this go viral on Twitter and commenters had no clue ffmpeg was a thing and thought he built this from scratch.

the person you're responding to is not the OP

If you're a Handbrake user, you most likely won't need this app. The main feature that I think Handbrake users want to have is the automatic compress new files in a folder, and maybe integration with Raycast extension.

Handbrakes UI is a mess.

how so? you literally select a file, and choose a preset and export. Not happy with one of the presets? Cool, adjust some quality sliders and hit export.

Handbrake settings can be overwhelming for beginners once they escape the playpen of presets, while CompressX provides just a handful of controls, with no bitrates or codec names in sight.
