You see, iTunes will give me a large 1024×1024px icon, but I don’t want to serve that icon everywhere on my site. By the time my node script handed the reigns back to bash, I had everything I needed except for the optimized/resized icon variants. sh file that, when run, triggered a node script which gathered all of the details about an icon, fetched its artwork from iTunes, wrote it to disc, then handed control back to bash. My previous bash script was essentially a. Why? Because bash syntax baffles me and anytime I need to tweak a thing or two, it takes me hours to figure out the right syntax.Īt the moment, I’ve migrated all of the steps listed above to a single node script except for that last step-that’s what this post is about.
