  • You are being rather ambiguous with how your program works, which I understand. But if the primary way of selecting colors is through words then that is big issue that I feel can’t be made to work outside of English.

    If the selection is more “traditional”, like a color wheel or whatnot, and the text is just a description (I think coolors does this) then it might be translatable.

    Like, the issue with “pink” being “light red” is that you can’t actually select pink and a lighter shade of red if the selection is through text. If the selection isn’t text based then you can just have two colors being “light red” cause it is true anyway



  • I honestly don’t remember any app that actually lost their brand or individuality. People complain that MD makes app all look the same, but the only apps that actually implement MD are the ones that don’t have a very strong UX/UI Design in the first place. Spotify, Firefox, Meta Apps and such are never actually going to implement Material Design itself, at most they are going to read the guidelines and go “yeah, that seems fair” and implement their own solutions based on Google’s idea.


  • Even if a social network loses 99,99% of the user base due to charging to use it, those left are the ones that see no problem paying to use it, so they are more likely to eat up some insane pricing, which would help recoup losses from a smaller user base. Basically whales.

    I think the only way to try to kill a social network is by going full scorched earth on it. Remove all your comments, or change them to be an annoying copy pasted comment about why you’re getting off the platform. And even then I don’t think it is helpful, I did that with Reddit but was forced to leave technical posts intact because I feared I might prevent someone from solving their issue.



  • It explicitly calls out that there shouldn’t be masks

    icons should be clean edges; the layers must not have masks or background shadows around the outline of the icon.

    And icons are XML files, or fancy SVGs, I was under the impression it would just pick apart the shapes and force all the fills to be the same color.

    I even tried doing some fancy work with dithering, but it didn’t render
