Oh how I wish :inkscape: #Inkscape had an automatic also-save-as-PDF-on-save functionality...
inkscape -o myfile.{pdf,svg}
is nice and short, and you can easily #watchexec that, but it'd be so great if it could just auto-save a PDF version next to the SVG on save.

@… Font Awesome does *icons* and icon fonts are one method but they also provide SVG for everything! The @… plugin is SVG exclusive, for example.

I needed a simple thing:
1. Create 3000x1000 document.
2. Add a white box as background.
3. Insert a 9 KB SVG.
4. Export as SVG.
Exported SVG sizes:
Inkscape: 9 KB
Affinity Designer 2: 32KB
Affinity (new): 120 KB
Pixelmator Pro: 1 MB
2026 and Inkscape remains the only first-class SVG editor. 😳

Followerpower: I want a commandline tool that can do the following: take an SVG file input and produce a square-sized SVG output with the input centered and filled with transparency? I.e., let's say input is 50x100, output would be 100x100 with the input's content shifted 25px to the right.

I got @… to render the same lines from JIJI that I rendered as SVG; it's actually quite trivial! :)
more to come, filled areas shall be next 👀

R.I.P., #Flash. 🪦

So it's been pointed out that steve, the #jobserver, doesn't have a #logo. Here's a first approximation. Made in #Inkscape, using lines and fonts (the apples are from Noto Sans, I think). I also have an SVG version but browsers mess it up by substituting the apples for some colorful emojis with incompatible metrics. I've added a bright background, since the actual transparent background doesn't work on black (which seems to be Mastodon default).
