Use Grunt to generate scaled images from time to time #40

davelab6 commented 10 years ago

As per @garyritchie in https://github.com/fontforge/designwithfontforge.com/issues/31#issuecomment-35198425 lets add Grunt and bower, to create a set of reduced images during a build routine so we can keep the originals intact.

We are currently in a cross-over region between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5

HTML 5 allows for SVG images. This will allow you to scale an image respective to the browser screen size and maintain a bit of crispness and sharpness to images. Problem is there's still plenty of non-HTML 5 browsers still around, so it is something to keep in mind for future - like maybe in a year from now when the number of HTML browsers are the majority.

...hint (some web capable phones aren't quite ready yet).

Many images are screenshots. If diagrams then yes to svg. Dont care about old browsers. :)

We're now able to compress images with the grunt workflow. Question is should we keep the original photos?

I think keeping them is good, eg a print version would find them useful On 4 Apr 2015 11:31 am, "Aceler Chua" notifications@github.com wrote:
