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.

Some alternative app icons (latte.isnot.coffee)

Quite like the development of Jerboa as it stands, but I found the icon of the app to be a bit uninspired (and personally I need to have a dark background so stuff doesn't stand out too much).

Anyway, I got some time on hand last night and prompted DALL-E to create some Jerboa-inspired icons, and after going through dozens and dozens of iterations, prompts and refinements, I was left with 5 that I really like, cleaned them up and tuned them a bit in Photoshop this morning, and here we are:

Now I have no clue what that means in terms of licensing and whatnot. I'm explicitly posting them with no strings attached from my end, but can't tell if any underlying licenses still apply regardless.

I vote 1st and 3rd!

You can just swap them out yourself :-)

(Actually no idea if regular old Android allows to switch app icons. I've used the Nova Launcher for almost a decade now, and won't ever go back).

How can I save those images to device in jerboa? 😅

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

Honestly I don't know, that's the part I do in the browser 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Perhaps that's something for the feature list? 😀 Long press context menu for text/media.

Currently the long press is a toggle on control elements, if I am not mistaken.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yep, and I have no clue why anyone would even want to toggle those.

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

Yeah, let's create some GitHub issues 😄

I LOVE the first two but they are all so cute! Good stuff

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

OMG these look awesome 👏👍😊

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

These are so much better

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

Thanks! 🙃

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And this is how it looks like in situ (my personal favourite):

[–] mitchacho74 4 points 2 years ago

They all look great, I personally like the brown one, something different than gray, but they're all very cute and look very nice

[–] shiro 1 points 2 years ago

looks amazing!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice on Nova launcher 😄

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, Nova is the best! Glad you like it 😁

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

https://file.io/Qtm0OkCjgH9W Made a minimalist light/dark theme variant on version 2 since you kindly provided them no stings attached :)

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

Wow nice, I love it! Thanks for sharing!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The 2nd is my personal favourite

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yep, same. Using it myself now. With Nova Launcher you can replace any app icon yourself (might even be possible with stock Android now, I have no idea...).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No Pixel Launcher doesn't allow customisation of app icons, unfortunately. I would love to be able to disable app labels but I can't :(. But I also don't want to use third party launchers because of the gesture navigation bugs/stutters.

But I really like the Material You icons you can enable in the Pixel Launcher.

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

I'm using gesture navigation exclusively with Nova Launcher, that works without any stuttering. Or is that Pixel specific? I'm using a OnePlus.

[–] random72guy 2 points 2 years ago

Two and three!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You should probably open an issue on GH and just add the icons in SVG or whatever and suggest this to the devs. This way, you'll most definitely get their attention.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Very good point, I'll do that in the next few days when I have some time to convert it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They are great! Don't think I am able to download them from the Androod jerboa itself though. Saving to get them from the web

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

Right, the download feature in Jerboa is not the most advanced yet. If it helps, I can also upload them elsewhere.

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

Those are great!

We'll probably need one for a beta version, so keep that in mind when suggesting a specific icon.

[–] Kushi 1 points 2 years ago

Great job! I really like the first one.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you!! Very nice :)

PS if you want people to use them for anything they like, you'll want a CC-BY (will require listing you as author) or CC0 license (completely public domain).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah nice, thanks a lot! In that case I'm happy to go for CC0, since really most of the work was done by an AI.

My point was just that I don't know if any underlying license from DALL-E restricts me from opening it up to the public domain. I'll try to get some clarity.

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

I think there is precedence saying AI work canno't be restricted with copyright which is only for human work
