So as of today, `p5.js` is on version `1.4.2` and the minified file stands at a whopping `804KB` filesize.

I am a website developer and have been learning and getting better at it since some months now and want to use it on client sites as animated backgrounds to add some zing. I do know that the raw `p5.js` is a collection of a lot of sub-libraries and with a total size of around `4MBs`. How can I shave off unwanted libraries safely from the parent `p5.js` file and then minimise it for production use?

Someone pointed out to me on FB that the `opentype` library is the biggest ‘file’. But I am not too good with Github I guess as I wasnt able to find this file in the `p5.js` [repo](https://github.com/processing/p5.js).

I almost never use **sound, video, ASCII, typography** functions. And if my sketch is purely 2D, the 3D library too doesn’t serve me any purpose. So I want to save small sized versions of the p5.min.js file on my system to use on a per project basis. Please help me understand this. I do not want to waste these past months of hard work.

Thank you.

Try out q5.js: 💡
