Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Hey guys! So, following up my previous post about the Jerboa icon, I've made new logo as well. I think I will continue working on it, but for the meantime, that's how it looks.

I modified existing lemmy logo, couldn't get longer ears though, wouldn't look right or it would resemble rabbit too much. Added a little tail as well because Jerboas have a really long one, and it looks cute. Main inspiration was Apollo icon, it looks really neat. I think I would like to improve upon the background and maybe change color palette to be more bright, but I want to hear what you think.

Will give it a thought, thanks!

Also the floof at the end of a jerboa's tail is long rather than round. I donno why that detail is bothering me. Otherwise I love this logo!

Yeah, the little circle at the end makes it look like an antenna. It's kind of cheeky to make a reference to Reddit, but IMHO it's not necessary, especially on the long run.

Check out these Jerboa tail drawings for inspiration.

Or consider to leave out the tail completely. You know, K.I.S.S. style. 😉
