Image file sizes are way too large for web

Closed this issue 8 years ago · 11 comments

Should not take 4+ seconds to load the page. 5.59MB of files is a lot.

This is a really good point. We need to also use svgs

I can (or someone can) take a stab at this later tonight. Would be great to have some sort of build system in place to automatically decompress images before pushing to GitHub.

@akleiner2 any recommendations as far as build systems go? I'm all ears. We have the simplest stack right now haha

@sskhandek Haha it's great. I was just poking around the ACM GH, and would love to help out. I was thinking a simple Gulpfile with tasks for dev + prod I think should do the trick. Thoughts?

Also, are you guys planning on using SVGs for most things?
