The use case is pretty much the 3rd sentence in the link: > It is helpful if you accidentally record more than 100MB (the github limit) for a demo video you wish to put in a Github PR. In other words, you have a video, you want to attach it to the PR, it's 105MB. Now your option is to put it on YT and share a link, or use this tool and be able to simply drag/drop it to the PR. In the demo, the 118MB file is compressed to something like 18MB, which is quite impressive, and could also help people who have slow upload speeds. |

It is a small niche use-case, but something I personally run into more often than not.
Other alternatives is use ffmpeg on your own, or use one of the thousand video tools on the market to compress the video. This is what I did in the past, but it made me open an external tool, then compress, then re-upload. It was an annoying 20-30 seconds of my time.
This keeps devs in the Github PR flow without thinking too much, which I find quite nice. I personally have been using this for 2ish months now since version 0.0.1. It is always a pleasant surprise when it works.
