(It wouldn't let me upload a bigger resolution, so here's one, without the mask)

Edit: if you’re on iOS and want to use this as the app icon for wefwef, there actually is a way to do it: link.

This one’s amazing! really fits the proposed ”Voyager” name. any chance for an SVG version?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Here you go: svg version

If the icon actually goes anywhere I'll make a more polished version of it

Looks good!

A colorful sky to represent the fediverse (like the current wefwwef icon's background) might look cool too!

[–] Tygr 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wow! I want this icon. It’s absolutely perfect as I love blue. Just not sure how to reinstall on iOS to change the icon beyond the default.

I just found out that it actually is possible if you have a Mac, although a bit cumbersome.

This Post explains it:

  • Enable Web Inspector on iPhone. Settings > Safari > Advanced > Enable Web Inspector
  • Connect your phone to your mac
  • Open wefwef.app on the phone, connect to it from macos safari developer menu.
  • Change the icon urls in the inspector then install the app on the phone.

You can replace the icon url by searching for "apple-touch-icon" and changing the href property everywhere you see it to this: https://i.imgur.com/kUxXoIA.png

So change this:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" type="image/png" sizes="180x180" href="/favicons/apple-touch-icon-180.png">

to this:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" type="image/png" sizes="180x180" href="https://i.imgur.com/kUxXoIA.png">

And do this for all the "apple-touch-icon"s.

Or if you use Apple Configurator to push wefwef as a webclip you can easily drop in whatever icon you like.

I take it back, there’s actually an easier way and you can do it without a Mac: https://routinehub.co/shortcut/10290/

[–] Tygr 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This worked! Annoying to have to setup the app each time I remake the shortcut with logins and stuff, but this was worth it!

Let Lemmy be it's own thing.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

You realize this community is about a (web)app that is not only inspired by Apollo, but is explicitly aiming for feature parity with it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe its because I'm an Android user, and have no real connection to Apollo, but I agree. I appreciate the effort OP put into this, but those eyes on a rat just creeps me out.

[–] Lord_Fluffington 5 points 1 year ago

This is perfect, I think the creators of wefwef would be crazy not to use this along with the rebranding to Voyager

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Actually kinda love this

[–] Moeaverage 3 points 1 year ago

This is dope!

[–] ska 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nice design, just set it as my app icon! It mixes together the legacy of Apollo, charm of Lemmy, and theme of Voyager, while still having its own style. Love that the Lemmy mascot is in a little spacesuit too

Thank you for your kind words, I’m happy to hear you like it :) I’ll probably have a few variants for the submission once that thread is up. I’m super excited to see what others are gonna come up with, I’m pretty sure it’s gonna blow this icon out of the water^^

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Love this one! It fits especily well with the Voyager concept.

(And it also joves nicely with my idea to call communities mūns ["moons", because they orbit around their central server].)
