That's a great idea! Embarrassed to admit I hadn't thought of that :p
I don't imagine it'd make a difference in speed, but should be more efficient in memory (which is indeed a scarce resource on the cheap boxes)
Author here, let me know if anyone has questions :D
Tangential note - the thing I'm most proud of about that article is that splash image
To get the logo to contour along the vat, I added a 3d sphere in the position of the vat, pasted puppeer's logo into the texture layer, then made every other part of the sphere transparent
Crazy what you can do in Photoshop nowadays
Definitely take a look at Gatsby as well (it's react-based), I messed up the initial submission link and didn't use the right package name for Gatsby. (put in gatsby-cli instead of just gatsby)
https://npmcharts.com/compare/gatsby,metalsmith
The download count is more bursty for some reason
Ack, crap
Should be using just "gatsby" (which has a lot more downloads) than "gatsby-cli"
Here's the updated link:
https://npmcharts.com/compare/metalsmith,wintersmith,assemble,harp,brunch,nuxt,gatsby,hexo-fs,spike
Thanks for the great suggestions! Especially the box styling, makes a lot of sense, not very easy to change right now but I'll add that to my issue tracker
Could I trouble you to recommend a suitable package to reproduce the 'm' suffixes?
