The effect is simple, but that's not completely a bad thing. It's an invite, it's not aesthetically unpleasing, and if I put it through Google translate for the parts that I can't do myself with my old rusty Spanish knowledge I'd have the info I might want to know if I lived there. :) - rulezadded on the 2014-11-18 09:42:34

- I have found for the few experiments and two crappy demos I produced is that it may not always be in your best interest to remove all repetition if you intend to pack it in to a PNG. The packing process means that sometimes if you have something that's necessarily five characters, for whatever reason, if you use those five characters a few other times your output size doesn't always increase appreciably. Certainly not as many times as it was used.
This is of course hard to account for because you can't* know exactly how it's going to treat your stuff, except by experimentation. I found a few things where I had a general pre-PNG size reduction but the PNG size went up by anywhere from parts of to several kilobytes.
* Well, if you knew the innards of the particular deflate implementation of the PNG writer you're using, then maybe ... but I wouldn't think it likely.
Maybe other people who write better web demos than I do have better reasons to use a tool than I do for not. My workflow just involved a cobbled together Java app that would take my code, write it to the PNG file with an .html extension, then append that project's bootstrap code to the end of the file. The tool works, but it doesn't cover for the fact that I write crappy demos. ;P
(Daeken of course took this to the extreme and even figured out what parts of a PNG can be overwritten with parts of his bootloader and still be loaded correctly by the browser to save on space. I understand the idea, but now how he did it. My attempts resulted in broken images that didn't load.) - isokadded on the 2014-11-15 02:33:24
