🚀 Optimizing Nostr Logos for a Faster, Leaner Future
Some think decentralization is slow or resource-heavy. But efficiency is a choice. Every unnecessary kilobyte adds up, impacting speed, user experience, and even energy consumption.
By optimizing 7 Nostr logo SVGs, I reduced file sizes without any loss in quality, making them lighter, faster, and more sustainable. Small changes like this contribute to a more efficient and accessible decentralized ecosystem.
Big thanks to
@mbarulli @bembureda for creating the original logo. It's great to contribute my knowledge about optimization to help improve an icon that so many in the Nostr community use.
💡 How?
🔹 Adobe Illustrator (thought its not a open source solution but later we will find a solution on this ) removes unused definitions, normalizes & compress SVG structure
🔹 SVGO then:
Rounds numbers to 2 decimal
Removes unnecessary attributes
Optimizes path data
Url: jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/
Preserves essential style/colors
🔹 A simple CLI script combines both tools for best results!
