Hi! I admit that I'm an egotist and want to be praised for my work. Unfortunately, I rarely am. 🙁 Now, I have some compression techniques I want to share with people. They are general-purpose and should help out most other techniques. Right now, they are in their Alpha stages and nowhere near ready to even be debugged. However, I think the concepts are valid. I'm only willing to reveal some of them. If anybody here wants them, just ask.

Describe what is better about it. Is it faster than LZ4? Compress more than LZHAM, ZSTD, BZip2? Does it work well on 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit CPUs of yesteryear?
