@jensimmons hi Jen! enjoyed your appearance on shop talk. you said to reach out if devs have safari q’s, so!

could you furnish us with an up-to-date list of splash screen image sizes for pwas? I tried using https://github.com/elegantapp/pwa-asset-generator but alas it’s not showing an image for my iphone 15

seems like a lot of overhead also. thanks!

The #firefish logo is pretty cool but for whatever reason the svg is so messed up... It's all made up of clipping groups and it causes certain apps (like Icomoon) to break, see 2nd pic. (Left is the original svg and right is the intended version.)

Anyways, if anyone wants it, here's the fixed version: https://very.bignutty.xyz/files/a2f49256-6610-43fd-831d-cf87f3fb3dbd

(Also this may just be a bad svg file, I got it from here: https://joinfediverse.wiki/File:Firefish.svg )

A quick blog post to raise awareness of our favourite browser extension, #svgGobbler.

It’s both incredibly useful and beautifully designed.

Essential for designers/web devs, it finds all SVG images on a webpage and displays a preview with links to copy or download the images directly as svgs or pngs.

Blogged: we found getting a puppeteer scraper (for @gigbot) working in Netlify functions a real PITA.

But we did!

So we made a demo app + repo so hopefully others won’t have to tread the same miserable path we just did

We're big fans of the decentralised fediverse so we were delighted to be asked to help rebrand one of the biggest open source community platforms. Read about how we gave https://joinfirefish.org a fresh new fish-based logo and then give us a follow https://www.blackspike.com/case-studies/firefish-social-logo/ #firefish
