Lots of people (including Apple) put full-color icons on each top-level row in Settings these days.
I'm experimenting with using monochrome SF Symbols there. I may not ship it this way, but it's kinda fun, and it lets me use the same icons that are used for the corresponding features throughout the rest of the app.
Maybe that improves consistency and understanding, especially since I don't currently have localized strings.
@marcoarment Unsolicited feedback: You got 6 circular things near the top there that are all visually kind of same-looking. Maybe add more shape variety (or color as others have commented).
Yeah, one person at a desk with an AI slot machine to “create brand-aligned images”, video, as well as process all the conversions and analytics. What a dream, what a treat. https://youtu.be/AAyXT7V8-cw
Delta has finally been dethroned from the top spot on the US App Store, and it took a company giving you free donuts for installing their app to do it.
@matt I’m ready for 100 new think pieces about how Apple’s terrible App Store policies have been squelching humongous customer demand for free donuts… :)
People defending owners of old gaming IP all day long. Look, I get it. And #emulation is often iffy. But imagine if other mediums were like gaming. 99% of music and film inaccessible unless you owned original hardware and original media, slowly degrading and liable to die at any moment. It’s insane that gaming is in the place it is. I’d long hoped for an ‘iTunes for MAME’ years ago, but no. The closest we’ve got to something remotely sensible is ‘Netflix for #retrogaming’ Antstream Arcade.
@craiggrannell@flargh I agree with your desire to maintain and preserve the rich history here! But it feels like you are kind of condoning this by defending it. The intellectual property owners have been very clear that they do not want their games stolen. We can debate the wisdom of that or even the wisdom of IP laws themselves, but taking the stance that “piracy is OK in this case because games are so important” does not feel right.
@matt Everyone is pointing at this one (copyright-infringing?) app as proof of pent-up demand, but I think it would be more convincing if there were TEN new apps at the top of the list. Just a single new app feels like more of an anomaly than a confirmation.
@matt I’m curious about your comparison to a web browser, but understand if you don’t want to debate that here. :)
In my mind, an emulator like that exists to enable people to play copyrighted games they have often obtained through questionable means. Which is not the case for a web browser which just shows content on the web. Some of that content may have legal issues itself, but all of the content is specifically intended by its publisher to be displayed by the web browser.
I love how so many people are like “these reviewers are paid off” and this guy’s like, “nah, it’s malpractice for a reviewer to actually give a bad review.”
A historically bad tech take that should be put in a museum.
@matt Wait till this person learns about different user agents, default style sheets, mobile, high contrast, etc.... IMO, if you want your content to be more accessible to people, then publish the full text in the RSS feed.
