index.html is unnecessarily bloated

[sno]

twine embeds all images as base64 inside index.html, which is why it weighs in at over 7 MB. not sure what it means for the preloader, but images can probably be embedded in the usual way straight from their folder instead.

I had a look at this, out of curiosity. The 1st image is inserted like this:

<div id="storeArea" data-size="95" hidden>
  <div tiddler="jungle-eyes" tags="Twine.image" created="201506090147" modifier="twee" twine-position="420,1533">data:image/png;base64,...

I had a look at how tweecode/twine insert images: https://github.com/tweecode/twine/blob/master/storyframe.py#L733
It looks like it is systematically inserting them as TiddlyWiki tiddlers.
Hence, I do not think there is another "clean" alternative.
You may still try to insert pure HTML <img> tags instead.

I found a way to replace base64 images by <img> tags:
