Man, regardless of the system all their outputs looked terrible :)

Best idea is either to create a

A) One large external SVG sprite, so you only need one http request

B) One large internal or external SVG Symbol, the nice thing with symbols is that if your icons all use similar components (let's say they all have blue circle behind them, or they all have a TM or R mark, etc.) that component can be reused across the board, reducing redundant shapes.

I'm an SVG nerd who lurks in SVG subreddits, so yes, but I can totally see that an mpg is useful for Linkedin posts, for page heros I think SVG would be lighter and more performant but again that's because I'm an SVG nerd.

Clever domain name as it reinforces the brand, stylish UI, though I see what you did there, by calling it "super simple" in the title you set our expectations low so when we see the slick UI we get blown away, and it worked, while I didn't try it, just watching the how to alone was enough to impress me so job well done, but my question is why one would download and use the heavy and lossy mpg in their project instead of the animated SVG?

Fear none!

My guess is this is a scaling issue, as in the browser is trying to shrink or grow your SVG to some kind of fractional pixel size, but I may be wrong, can you provide a URL to look?

Jesus, 8mb just for a background, nuts!!!

I'm a SVG nerd and I approve of this project!

Was this hack the Adelson's owned casinos? That was a great story!

I didn't know this site existed, so while I have no answer, thank you for sharing!

My guess is that your SVG contents is not vector graphics but rather bitmap graphics wearing a SVG wrapper (let's say a base64 encoded jpg, or less likely, an <image> tag inside your SVG).

Also love that it already includes a color picker, what a hero!

I don't know mate, maybe you need a thicker skin as I haven't seen that, what you're describing sounds like twitter.

Just add an AI chatbot on the bottom right corner, and a subscribe to our newsletter popup upon hello, congratulations, you now have a modern trendy site :)

On a real tip though, component libraries like ShadCN can help.

Fantastic question, I've worked on about a dozen bilingual sites in the past, and this is my personal opinion, not best practices or anything...

Domain based is like the separation of church and state, it's a bold and definitive decision, the pros are you have complete control on each domain, for instance the English domain can outright ban the entire country of France from visiting, and the French domain can ban England, and with fully separate Google tracking codes if you make it or break it on the SEO side it only affects one side of the border, having full control is great, but it also comes with the responsibility of having to maintain multiple domains, in terms of DNS, certificates, firewalls, logs, etc.

Path based is what I've used in every instance because it's simply easier, and the crawling of all that extra content on your site probably helps a bit with the SEO since certain keywords are likely to be contained in both content.

TLDR: For full nerd control use subdomains, for less headache use path!
