Welcome to our (because it's open source) funny js minification/compression project. Now, depending on the structure of your code, this minifier can harm it. It's still a work in progress.

Before running minifyme, I recommend using jslint and fix your errors for yourself. Try https://github.com/reid/node-jslint

$ ./minifyme.py file.js

Statistics
==========    
    Original file size: 166 bytes  
    Minified file size: 90 bytes

    Removed bytes: 0.45% 

File file.min.js written.

The main idea is to apply a sequence of transformations to the input. These transformations are functions that receive a string (javascript code) and returns a string (javascript code) with the same behavior when interpreted (more on minification here, though, hopefully, shorter.

For a while, transformations already working are:

1. Removing leading and trailing whitespaces: '\r', '\t', ' '.;
2. Removing // comments;
3. Removing /**/ comments;

Not yet a requirement for this project. It's just for fun!

Parse js decently.

Remove unnecessary white spaces.
