This is a great exploration of how to use SVG on the web. It is a very under-utilized technology.

One thing that would add to this post is to point out that you can define an SVG once in a document and then reference it everywhere else. That way you aren't inlining the actual SVG markup over and over and over.

1. Place your SVG inline anywhere in the document. I usually put all of them in a `

` I do `display: none` on.

2. Make sure you assigned each SVG an ID: ``

3. Reference that SVG anywhere in your document using ``

I use it extensively in a Github project (shameless plug) I've been working on lately. https://github.com/pseudosavant/player.html/blob/master/src/...

I love the utility of single file web apps, even if this one does use 2 external dependencies.

I've gotten into this myself. I made a couple of (actually) single file web apps for navigating/viewing videos on a web server, or Markdown on a web server.

I have the same question.

I've tried working with UpWork, but their developers seem more geared towards "known"-type of projects, involving specific tech, or specific type of jobs, or fix it jobs.

I presented a project of some advanced JS, nothing too serious, and almost every developer declined or couldn't understand the requirements, likely because they didn't read any of my material about the project.

The job is pretty simple: add support for https://play.Presenta.cc .json files to https://github.com/pseudosavant/player.html#playerhtml. I want to be able to have a Presenta File player, so I can play the Presenta slideshow files and video files from my local folder using the html page. That's generally it. Upwork couldn't deliver.

This job was step one, in a very few number towards an MVP.

Nobody on Upwork seems to be able to do this.

I'm pretty disappointed with UpWork.

I think what's even a better attention mechanism is my late internet strategy.

I didn't bother to register an internet connection at my workshop, and I only have a mobile "flatrate" with 2G slow there.

It's amazing how precious your value of time instantly gets, and you have to get innovative for all sorts of tools.

GitHub Issues? Nope, need to build a caching browser extension [1]

Google? Nope, need to build a browser extension that blocks the damn consent banners.

Duckduckgo? Nope, doesn't work via TOR and blocks you as of late.

The general web? Nope. Browsers are too stupid to cache anything. So I guess I need to build my own web browser as well [2]

There's just so much noise in web sites these days, it's absurd. JS, ads, web fonts, tracking gifs, banners, gdpr consent banners, cookie banners, analytics...all noise, not signal.

In case somebody is looking for something that's integrated with GitHub's Issue API (without any third-party service scamming you off for it): I built a GitHub Scrumboard Chromium Extension that is offline-ready and doesn't need any third-party server. [1]

As I'm often developing on my laptop while being on 2G slow, this extension is offline-ready and automatically synchronizes the issues once visiting the /issues URL of an online repository again.
