It’s time for a better app icon - eviltoast

I don’t enjoy providing sensitive feedback like this, but it needs to be said — the current app icon is hurting the success of this great Lemmy web app as evidenced by my ability to keep it posted on my homescreen for any longer.

    I don’t see what’s so bad about it. It might not be the most imaginative, but it fits in with other icons on my home screen. It’s considerably better than Jerboa’s for example.

    As someone else said, just change the icon if you hate it so much. There’s already some community made ones posted here.

    of it bothers you that much you can make your own and build a shortcut for loading it… or submit a better one for review?

    You know you can touch on the icon and select a custom picture when creating the web app on iOS, right?

    If Bluesky’s icon can be a low res image of clouds someone found by googling “blue sky” and choosing the first image that popped up from some Pinterest album made in 2012, then Wefwef can whatever icon it wants.

    Lol not sure why you’re getting downvoted,you are right. To put it nicely; the icon is not on par with the beautiful app UI Wefwef is providing us. But good news, the dev said this on github: “ in the near future, we plan on adopting an app icon chosen by the community.”
