HiDPI icons #795

Open dfabulich opened 3 years ago

IFDB has a lot of little icons, and they're all saved as low-DPI images. It would be nice to convert them to HiDPI images.

Top priority for me would be to do the review stars and RSS feeds. Those appear all over the place.

The lowest priority for me would be all the fiddly little icons that appear only on "Your Page" https://ifdb.tads.org/personal … for most of those, I'd be inclined to just remove those icons altogether.

I have a similar feeling about all the little icons that only appear in the sidepane on the home page. IMO, if an icon appears only in one place, it should probably be removed.

It would be worth considering what our icon strategy should be. Individual images? Icon sprites? Icon font?

Sites like Github now use inline SVGs for most icons. I guess there must be slight performance benefits. But for simplicity and ease of development, icon fonts are still a really strong option.
