Your site is laggy, zero accessibility, microscopic text unless your window is large enough, does not support anything you'd expect from a regular website. Just ship a PDF already. The web is not paper, don't design for it as if it as. Oh, and this little page weighs 4.5MB

Yeah auto-music is bad. Sound effects are hard to do too, although when done well they can work (at least for me). Example of a site with sound effects that isn't overwhelming: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/
Thanks for sharing. I only got a sound effect when turning the sound off, but didn't find any others?
How do you address font engine rendering discrepancies among OSes? IIUC those discrepancies are a good reason most SVG export features convert everything into paths. Fun story-- awhile back some troglodytes living somewhere in the Linux font stack tripped some switch in their magical rendering engine. Whatever the change was, it caused even a mono-spaced font like DejaVu Sans Mono to have a significantly fatter width…
There is one big fat glaring exception: Safari for Mac doesn't resize fonts exactly, but instead uses a series of steps.
This means that when the page is resized, the text changes size slightly. I had to do a little back-end magic to compensate for this.
You can see for yourself by opening this in Safari and resizing the window:
‹html›‹body style="font-size:5vw"›‹div width=100%›
Slowly drag the side of the window‹br› and watch when the font changes size‹br› ‹br› In Safari it jumps, in any other browser it's smooth
‹/div›‹/body›‹/html›
You'll have to swap out the tags — I replaced the real brackets with French single quotes to make it appear correctly (possibly not necessary).

Search engines have only recently learned how to index JS, they will not survive SVG sites :)
This ain't it. Hard pass. May as well just be a hosted PDF.
- no links
- doesn't resize to the window
- no headers, footers, menus etc.
- different pages don't reuse common fonts or images, making it slower to load
- proprietary format
Anything I'm not thinking of?

I was getting really frustrated with CSS and HTML (I was originally a print designer), so built a tool for building websites using only SVG content. It's essentially a website builder that uses Adobe Illustrator for creating pages. The results so far have been really promising: - building websites is extremely rapid - very little debugging or verification is needed - it's easy to create beautiful content Techniques t…
One of the issues you run into with SVG is performance, particularly if you need any kind of styling of the SVG. As the tool scales you have to put in some effort into optimizing the generated SVG to help. If you aren't handrolling or compiling the SVG yourself you also need to look out for whatever your tool is doing. Illustrator and Sketch in particular do some wonky nonsense with filters to support things like inn…
How else would you implement that with SVG? And in my experience filters have been very well supported for the past years. They are part of the SVG conformance tests anyway, so any mismatch is also a broken SVG implementation.

> The only exceptions I know of are Illustrator and Inkscape. Aren't those the two most common vector graphics programs?
Illustrator is, but I don't think Inkscape is. I haven't been able to find any real information about Inkscape adoption rates, but I participate in several vector forums and Inkscape only ever comes up in terms of amateur illustration. I would love to be wrong about this. Figma and Adobe Xd are pretty popular, as is Affinity Designer. Microsoft Visio is popular in certain contexts, and InVision Studio is also popular…
// Similar to the typical problem with HTML generators, they’d write nasty code, so most were write only rather than write/read. To be fair, I haven’t checked Illustrator output in half a decade, so it could be fine now.
/// Definitely trying your tool, thank you for sharing!
