Pretty cool. The problem I'm having right now is the following pattern:
1. I have a mini-idea that takes me minutes to implement and turns the
ratchet in the right direction.
At the cost of adding dependencies for builds, and requiring builds be
done with Internet access. I don't think it's out of line to ask that if
we are going to add extra build requirements, we should make sure it's
really making decent progress.
2. I post it here in the hope that others will build upon or come with
better ideas.
3. I get feedback here that essentially demonstrates me that if I spent
some hours or days on a small research project on a better idea, it
would yield better results.
I think you misunderstand. We are not saying "do a research project", it
takes seconds to gzip 2 files (the minified and not minified) and see
the size difference. If it's super-significant, let's go for it! If you
send me the minified file, I can test it for you.
There doesn't need to be any research, but all the suggestions that have
been provided have NOT required extra tools or dependencies. That is a
significant difference.
