Tackled #1329 with [PurgeCSS](https://purgecss.com/).
Being talking with @varuniyer about using
[jekyll-uncss](https://github.com/episource/jekyll-uncss) to reduce css
file sizes by ditching unused classes. This approach have 3 main
problems:
1 - have some limitations as pointed
[here](https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio/issues/1329#issuecomment-1546517327)
2 - last update to
[jekyll-uncss](https://github.com/episource/jekyll-uncss) was about 3
years ago, so it might have a few issues
3 - [uncss](https://github.com/uncss/uncss) haven't seem a new release
in a while, currently [lacking
maintenance](https://github.com/uncss/uncss/issues/459), and using some
deprecated libraries as seem here:
```
npm install -g uncss
npm WARN deprecated request-promise-native@1.0.9: request-promise-native has been deprecated because it extends the now deprecated request package, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated w3c-hr-time@1.0.2: Use your platform's native performance.now() and performance.timeOrigin.
npm WARN deprecated uuid@3.4.0: Please upgrade to version 7 or higher. Older versions may use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is known to be problematic. See https://v8.dev/blog/math-random for details.
npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
```
I thought about giving PurgeCSS a go, since it has been more [actively
maintaned](https://github.com/FullHuman/purgecss), but
[jekyll-purgecss](https://github.com/mhanberg/jekyll-purgecss) haven't.
For this, I needed to change to use some local libraries instead of
getting them via CDN. The good news is that it is quite effective in
reducing css file sizes. Comparing dir sizes with `du -hs
_site/assets/css/`:
| current | minify | PurgeCSS | PurgeCSS + minify |

Dear `al-folio` maintainers,
I would greatly appreciate it if you could add my homepage as a star in
the academic examples.
Thank you for your wonderful work on this.
Moved information about using this template to the beginning of the
installation part, added a few more documentation links in it, fixed
some typos.

majority of the recent improvements to al-folio have been truly driven
by a growing community of fans and contributors. this template has
gradually transformed from a low-key weekend project into a "public
good" of some sort used by thousands of people, university labs and
classes, and academic conference and workshops. as such, having personal
sponsorship info from the repository is no longer relevant.
as the community grows a bit further, we may have to think about
establishing some kind of governance around decisions of how al-folio is
supposed to evolve, which features to prioritize, and how to reward
contributors for their hard work. for now, these decisions will be made
by the project maintainers (active contributors are welcome to join the
team). and I'm all ears for proposals and suggestions!
By using this Github action it is possible to keep the derived
repository up-to-date with its template.
I am currently using this to keep my website up to date with the
template repository. An example of the PR this action creates can be
seen [here](https://github.com/george-gca/george-gca.github.io/pull/13).
