Specify if also a good all-in-one tool I just found yesterday https://specifyapp.com/. Source: 10 months ago

Today quite some companies are already tackling similar problems. Talking of Knapsack.cloud, Backlight.dev, Specify, Supernova and many more, here. They all deliver value to simplify workflows for setup, integration, documentation and management of Design Systems. This is all super helpful in spreading the love about Design Systems to teams out there, and is a huge benefit to the process side of things. But you... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

At Specify, We started experimenting with the Shape Up methodology a few weeks ago to define focused projects, address unknowns, and increase collaboration and engagement within the team. So, I started to learn more about how other teams implemented it, too. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

Luckily there exists a tool to automate this process. Specify is a cloud platform which stores a single source of truth for your design tokens (text styles, colors, icons, imagery, etc.) and distributes them to the different platforms. Specify allows you to import your tokens from a source like Figma (and soon other sources like Google Drive or Dropbox) and keep them in sync while you make changes to the source.... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

You could install the optimizer Inkscape uses internally and process your files with a super simple shell script. When reading the inkscape command line help, it does not seem to offer any option to export optimized SVGs from there. Source: 11 months ago

Inkscape uses Scour under the hood for optimized SVG export. Source: about 1 year ago

First make sure all your icons are saved as 'Optimized SVG' to remove Inkscape specific data and unnecessary id-attributes. Inkscape uses 'Scour' for this under the hood, so you can just use that directly to convert your files from the command line. I recommend the options --strip-xml-prolog --remove-metadata --enable-id-stripping --renderer-workaround. Now you only need to replace the outermost ... With ... For... Source: almost 2 years ago

The script optimised the SVG using Scour. This removes some metadata and also shortens IDs as well as strip out comments. For the PNG files we used OptiPNG on the maximum optimisation setting. This can be slow on larger files, but for favicons should not take long. Here’s the before and after comparison of files sizes for a particular favicon, using the script:. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

I also recommend Inkscape, it also has scour built-in to it. When saving a SVG select the option "optimized SVG" which will give you options to pass to scour to lower the amount of markup there is. You can then do some hand editing after this to further remove any markup you don't want. Source: over 2 years ago
