Do you mean recompiling primitive or svgasm to JavaScript? No, it is not currently possible.

But yea it would be cool to have a web version of svgasm that uses some Javascript raster image tracers out there. I will be working on it and posting to HN later to anyone who's interested.

Thank you for your interest. What browser do you use? It seems to work better on Safari on my MBA.

Also, as stated on my GitHub page I used primitive [1] for the lions example. What svgasm adds to primitive and other tracer tools is the ability to process a GIF (or a sequence of images) and make an SVG animation out of the sequence.

Hi HN readers. I created this command-line tool called svgasm to automate the generation of an SVG animation from a lot of SVG files. Originally I made this tool to create a dumb SVG animation from a bunch of matplotlib SVG exports. Then, I had the idea of using this method to sequence traced/vectorized versions of raster frames extracted from a GIF to create a time-discretized SVG animation, which is found to be generally aesthetically pleasing and smaller in file size. I created a bunch of GIF vs SVG side-by-side comparison examples with some interesting GIFs that I found online. The examples can be viewed on https://github.com/tomkwok/svgasm. Please tell me if the SVG animations work on your laptop/PC, especially the more complex SVGs like the infinity spiral example.

> DotTK and now Freenom have been great enablers for many smaller hobby sites. Get free webspace from bplaced, domain from freenom and CDN from CloudFlare and you have a pretty decent, ad-free infrastructure for a quick-and-dirty web project. A scratchpad solution basically.

Agreed. But never use free .tk domains for anything serious. DotTK is notoriously for deleting domains registered for free from a user's account without any notification to the user as soon as the domain gets some amount of traffic according to many reports online.

Freenom appears to be the company managing the (in)famous "free" ccTLD .tk

No, thanks.

Well at least they now give a "Do not notify me again" option, which they previously didn't even include in popups according to earlier reports.

Can confirm. Currently it says I'm offline.

Edit: It seems to be back online (at least for me).
