This seems like an overall good idea. I might need to commision an artist though If I can't do it myself.

right now I'm using emoji for some of the lists. I'm not sure how wise this is given they'll vary by platform/fonts but there's not really anything better I can think of that covers so many 'icons' while being free and saving me from doing a bunch of awkward work.

Maybe to use FontAwesome? I can look for a way to integrate it with the hugo theme.

VegaDeftwing commented 3 years ago

I thought about that already, but I think I'd like to just do custom SVGs. It prevents loading a lot of unused icons and is just more interesting. Im not exactly an amazing artist, but I think I could make it work. Ive been prioritizing content lately though, trying to get things to a good place before making them pretty. Loading Font Awesome may be good in the mean time and be useful elsewhere though.

I will look for possible solutions to only save the used SVGs as part of the HUGO theme that don't imply to load/download all of them, it will be an interesting challenge tho.

I will update this issue if I can figure something out, in the meantime I will be doing some content updates as well on "Servers!"

I think there might be an opportunity to use Stable Diffusion to generate images then SVG-ize them with inkscape to make each icon. This would avoid copyright problems and probably give a pretty cool look. I'd like to test this with https://opguides.info/engineering/programming/fixxingissuses/ to avoid the dependence on emoji that may look different on each platform.
