+ open-iconic/update.json, needs opinion #2036
Conversation
So seems the [WebP](https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr/tree/master/files/open-iconic/1.1.0/webp) images were uploaded, but not the far more browser-supported [PNG](https://github.com/iconic/open-iconic/tree/master/png)s. 1300 images is alot but 1300*2*new version every 3-4 months is alot. Maybe drop both until people ask for them? Really the thrust of Iconic is individual SVG images. The fonts & raster images are provided as a backup. No one complained that the PNGs were missing, even though they're required by IE8. (& IMHO SVG should be THE format for icons). @somerandomdude this file is for automated uploads to the CDN.

I think thats too much. Using a custom setup would be better in this case |
|
Exactly what do you mean by "custom setup" please? The way I did it? |
|
I mean a proxy setup or manually uploading to origin. Github is not the place to store so many images |
It's a good thing we're having this conversation; I almost sent a PR to upload 1000+ of Google's icons! (They are not cooked enough yet.) Is there a semi-standardized way that you want to get these proxy requests please? I'm starting to want to host sets of SVG icons & other images; I think they're better than icon-fonts in many ways. I'm not too excited about PNG icons, but I suspect projects like Google's 'Material Design' will want to make their way into a CDN; lots of files, but standardized & likely used by many for years to come. Would it be easier for you if there was a seperate repo with instructions in the README & Issues for submit proxy requests? (No PRs except for docs, unless you want to set up |
|
For THIS project, upload only fonts only, or do you want to just proxy everything? |
|
Proxy requests need to be configured by me on the origin so there are no instructions. Someone just needs to request the project and provide an origin to proxy cache. For this repo I think it makes sense to proxy everything |
