There’s a lot of usage of “Traverse” in the app and I think that would be a wicked name as it lends itself to the functionality of the fediverse

I’ll be real, this looks really outdated and not in-line with iOS design language.

It looks like old Google Material Design stuff from 2014-ish. I’d love for an updated logo in-line with more modern iOS design language, something like Ivory or Mlem’s.

Either way I think the previous icon was more distinctive and more recognizable, whereas this one feels like an icon that was purchased in a pack, and not one for iOS apps.

Dear @gkd@lemmy.ml,

Feel free to read all this and think about it, or to disregard it all as the ramblings of a crazy man. Please realize this comes from a place of REALLY LIKING this app and certainly not from a place of malice!

I hate to be the asshole who hasn’t contributed at all and links documentation and guides to the people ACTUALLY doing work, but I’m gonna.

Apple’s docs do a good job showing some really basic examples and what makes a good icon, but I mostly want to bring your attention to a couple details of that safari icon they have as an example.

• SLIGHT amounts of depth, only when necessary
• A slight outward bubble/gradient

It’s also worth looking at the actual iOS icon bounding box that they show off around their developer webpages. It’s a great guide on how to design a well-weighted and well-proportioned app icon. Think about the icons of all the apps that you use daily, especially the bigger named ones. Think about the colors they use, how many colours they use, the shapes and proportions of those shapes.

Again, I know at this point I’m backseating, but these kinds of little details are really important to me haha. And apparently to others as well! You may not notice it, but your brain does

I really wish they’d give us an update on that ActivityPub support. It’s been so long since they’ve even mentioned it

Are you guys talking really simple themes like just having a different highlight color? Or are you guys talking more in-depth ones like changing the whole color scheme kind of like Dracula or Nord kind of like Apollo had?

Are you guys going to have the new icon ready for the App Store submission? It’ll help with downloads when the icon people see is something they can take a little more seriously.

And I know there’s probably no solid plans for it yet so I’m not asking for any answers or anything, but I hope you guys plan on adding some way to support development whether that be some in-app payment or a link somewhere

This is haunting.

There’s no gore or anything, it’s just twisted metal and cables. Still, seeing it and thinking “humans were alive in there mere days ago” made my gut drop. It’s not like looking at wreckage of an old ship or plane or something, it’s different. Because it’s so small, it feels more intimate. Like looking at a coffin vs looking at a graveyard
