I've been quietly following the progression on this and think you've done a great job. I was also really impressed by the spirit of collaboration that underpinned all your posts and your solicitation of feedback. Really positive process all round!

Kibby sounds like Kbird but cuter and I love it!

I hope all magazines get into the Kibby craze!! All of my magazines will.

Just an FYI: You can add Kibby to the site with KES

I love the avatar replacement script sooo much, but I just wish the icon was consistent between posts from the same person; whether that's from using the username as a randomizer seed to make it consistent between pages, or just pushing username and generated-icon associations into an object on a per-page basis. As it is, it dramatically decreases accessibility for me, which makes me sad because the parrot brings me joy.

Of course I just wrote all this and realized someone said this exact thing on page two. I suppose I'll post it anyway just to say, yeah, I'm a user being directly impacted by it; if you can't figure it out by the time that I'm not deliriously ill then I might take a crack at it myself

i hear you and i will attempt to solve this. im an amateur at coding so it might take me a bit

Can i use the svg file as app icon to this project: https://github.com/anemomylos/shell4kbin ?

reev, 10 months ago

Have we considered generating them instead? Would that be possible? Have various color options and features that get randomly overlayed to create a unique one, perhaps generated from username?

Way more work, but also way more cool.

I really like this. Even if it's not adopted by @ernest to be officially incorporated into Kbin, mods could create little variants to use as the thumbnail for magazines. Really hoping it catches on.

minnieo, 10 months ago

those were my thoughts as well, i even made an example of what it could look like using the @askkbin mag as an example. that would be super cute

Is there a license associated with Kibby? Might be worthwhile attaching one to him if you want him to be shared and reused.

minnieo, 10 months ago

i do need to attach one, i just still havent figured out which to attach yet cause idk anything abt licensing lmao

wagesj45, 10 months ago

There are tons of open source licenses (like Creative Commons)out there you could use.

For fun, I asked ChatGPT for help. It suggests a copyright license as well as a usage license. It even gave me an example if you want to use it.

@jon I'm pretty sure that Kibby would explain the intricacies of the fediverse to newcomers perfectly ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
