Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Quite like the development of Jerboa as it stands, but I found the icon of the app to be a bit uninspired (and personally I need to have a dark background so stuff doesn't stand out too much).

Anyway, I got some time on hand last night and prompted DALL-E to create some Jerboa-inspired icons, and after going through dozens and dozens of iterations, prompts and refinements, I was left with 5 that I really like, cleaned them up and tuned them a bit in Photoshop this morning, and here we are:

Now I have no clue what that means in terms of licensing and whatnot. I'm explicitly posting them with no strings attached from my end, but can't tell if any underlying licenses still apply regardless.

You can just swap them out yourself :-)

(Actually no idea if regular old Android allows to switch app icons. I've used the Nova Launcher for almost a decade now, and won't ever go back).

How can I save those images to device in jerboa? πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Honestly I don't know, that's the part I do in the browser πŸ˜‚

Perhaps that's something for the feature list? πŸ˜€ Long press context menu for text/media.

Currently the long press is a toggle on control elements, if I am not mistaken.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, and I have no clue why anyone would even want to toggle those.

Nice on Nova launcher πŸ˜„

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, Nova is the best! Glad you like it 😁

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I LOVE the first two but they are all so cute! Good stuff

You should probably open an issue on GH and just add the icons in SVG or whatever and suggest this to the devs. This way, you'll most definitely get their attention.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Very good point, I'll do that in the next few days when I have some time to convert it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

And this is how it looks like in situ (my personal favourite):

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

They all look great, I personally like the brown one, something different than gray, but they're all very cute and look very nice

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

looks amazing!

[–] PCChipsM922U 1 points 2 years ago

I personally like the second to last best, but they're all really cute looking and just... adorable ☺️.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The 2nd is my personal favourite

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

https://file.io/Qtm0OkCjgH9W Made a minimalist light/dark theme variant on version 2 since you kindly provided them no stings attached :)

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 1 points 2 years ago

Those are great!

We'll probably need one for a beta version, so keep that in mind when suggesting a specific icon.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you!! Very nice :)

PS if you want people to use them for anything they like, you'll want a CC-BY (will require listing you as author) or CC0 license (completely public domain).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Ah nice, thanks a lot! In that case I'm happy to go for CC0, since really most of the work was done by an AI.

My point was just that I don't know if any underlying license from DALL-E restricts me from opening it up to the public domain. I'll try to get some clarity.
