SVG was actually one of the first topics I'd planned to tackle once https://concise-encoding.org/ https://concise-encoding.org/ and the reference implementation is finished.
You definitely don't want to solve SVG's bloat problem by moving to another text-based format.
- prideout 6y agoDo you still plan on tackling it?
- kstenerud 6y agoYup! It's just that CE spec has taken much longer than I'd anticipated ;-) The CE spec is for all intents and purposes done (I don't anticipate any more changes), and the reference implementation is in the final stages. After that comes the schema format, then the official V1 release, and then I can move on to technologies built upon it. From some back-of-the-envelope calculations I made recently, I should be able to represent the same vector graphics in the same basic structure (such that you could convert between them), but in about 1/3 the space (not including the crazy stuff like CSS and JS).
