Hey fam, @daniel_nguyenx and I are currently working on the new BoltAI app icon and couldn’t decide which one we like best 🤷‍♂️
So we need your help (poll in the thread).

Some #aurora shots. Taken by my wife last night in Sylvan Lake, Alberta. I couldn't see them here in Calgary. Street lights too bright I guess.

Yo, check it out! I really dig this fresh, vibrant new look we’ve given Usage’s new app icon. Can you “feel” it? 📊🔋⚡️

@tapforms thanks, Brendan! It’s funny because the glow was one of the last pieces added. We felt that the graph needed to be brighter, and the glow effect helped greatly in achieving this.

Hey, look! It’s 2012 again!
It felt good to make this widget design for McClockface a tribute to the golden days!

Delighted to share the new app icon for Coach Board! I especially like how the whistle hangs out of the drawer, adding a nice little detail to the icon.

Let's say I wanted to get my app's icons displayed somehow in my new office. I could get them professionally printed and frame them myself. But maybe I want to do something a little fancier. What other options are there? Anybody done anything similar?

yanlu,
@yanlu@mastodon.social avatar

@matthewcassinelli @podomunro @simonbs lmk if you find a good solution! I’d been wanting to do this forever.

Alright, here we go! I’m delighted to show the app icon for Owncasts 📺
The iOS icon was already fun, but what’s even cooler is that we designed a dedicated tvOS icon for it. That means it’s a PARALLAX APP ICON! 🤩

I still can’t quite believe it, but my face made it into a book. I’m very honored to be able to share some thoughts in the macOS App Icon Book.
Thank you, @flarup, for putting so much time and effort into making this book a reality! 💛

How do you store your Apple Watch bands? I currently have them in a plastic bag and want to give them a nicer storage 🫣

Oh and my dad uses this to organize his bands.

Hey Rive experts, I am trying to create a simple progress animation that goes from 0 to 100. But at the value 50, the masked layer is already at 75%. What am I missing?

@marcel This actually made me laugh 🤣

I've been perfecting the aesthetic of my Apple Watch recently building on the flexibility provided by the new Modular Ultra watch face. I really like the overall structure of this face, but had trouble getting complications to fit well with the new font Apple uses in the middle.

Thankfully San Francisco has enough options and variants to be able to transform it into something which matches this new font to a T. This was a fun little design warmup to start the week.

@_Davidsmith that’s a lovely refinement! It’s amazing how much you can do with SF‘s variants.

Is this cool tech? Yes.

Is it a (data) privacy nightmare? Absolutely.

Is this dead on arrival as a commercial product? I‘d be surprised if not.

@marcel I thought the same. My thought was, “Why should I be enthusiastic about it if the founders don’t even seem to believe in it themselves?”
