Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

cssminc is a minimal, dependency-free C89 library and CLI tool for minifying CSS, with an LLM-generated JavaScript/JSON counterpart called jsminc. It offers streaming I/O, constant memory usage, and a simple API, making it suitable for embedded or resource-constrained environments where Node.js-based minifiers are impractical.

Target audience: backend devs, embedded systems developers, devops, performance engineers
