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? 😅

Honestly I don't know, that's the part I do in the browser 😂

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

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

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

Nice on Nova launcher 😄

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wow nice, I love it! Thanks for sharing!

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.
