Hello.

I am Paul Kinlan.

I love the web. The web should allow anyone to access any experience that they need without the need for native install or content walled garden.

When are we going to see the death of SVG?

Paul Kinlan

I have mixed feelings about SVG. I find it complex and requiring specific tools, and its integration with the web is clunky. It feels like a context switch between HTML and SVG DOM. However, SVG is scalable, vector-based, and has powerful graphical capabilities like filters and paths, enabling things not possible with regular web technologies. I wish path could be a CSS property, simplifying its usage and allowing text or even block elements to be rendered along a path. This would be more efficient than embedding SVG within HTML elements.
