That's very interesting. Would be cool to see a generalized example of the kinds of interfaces you're building.



The most impressive rabbit I've pulled out of the SVG hat in this regard is being given a 2.1MB logo and told that it had to appear full screen during the log in and be "crisp and not all jaggy".

Did it in about 900 bytes.


With inkscape?


You got it. Imported the jpg and traced it with Inkscape. Hand optimized the SVG and inlined it right into the html of the login page.


Logos are typically shipped in SVG or Adobe Illustrator format aren't they? Even the old style ones had technical specifications. Seems odd you'd have to hand trace a JPEG.


Ha! Yeah. I think maybe you and I might travel in slightly different circles.
