Hi gang, this is the last of the oregano changelogs (probably) before the big site overhaul. Goodbye gradient background.
oh and i added a bunch of brainrot quotes if you'd like to play rez quote slot machine
Improved site load times up to 70% just because I switched to using embedded SVGs for
icons instead of Font Awesome.
Before | After
And Font awesome sucks; I'll tell you why.
It's an incredibly convoluted system to just load icons that isn't even fair to devs. You
have to make an account and create a plan for one, but if your site gets viewed and the
icon gets loaded enough then you can lose money!! Because they'll charge you just to have
their icons displayed!! Not only that the content they serve you through those icons is
incredibly bloated and way more than "just" an icon (a bunch of extra CSS).
Just copy the svg data from here and embed it
directly.
Thanks to Camo for showing me the icon pack (and Bootstrap
product I actually want to use.)
Also the Google font pack I was using was loading 2 fonts instead
of 1. Oops. That has been fixed.
tldr Everything should load faster now.
The performance might be
negligible.
But I still think it matters.
