What do we think of the new logo?

[โ€“] TheBest@midwest.social 40 points 1 year ago

Look oddly more mature. I digg it.

[โ€“] FlashZordon@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

A classy evolution of the previous logos. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

I love the new up/downvote colors but when I swipe on a comment to upvote it's still orange/purple. Anyway to make that match the new upvote color?

This app is great! Keep it up!

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

Good catch.

I know eh? This is how burn out happens though...

[โ€“] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

They seem to do bursts of progress and then take a break or at least slows down a lot; hopefully that is them balancing things, taking care of themself, and taking care of core responsibilities.

In Sync Ultra previews, when no image is available, the old colors are still shown:

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Oooh good spot cheers

[โ€“] dotMonkey@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Swipe left on comment/post to upvote still the old orange colour. Otherwise, looking great!

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Fixed for the next release.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 9 points 1 year ago

Great point, it would be ideal if the swipe animation color matches whatever you pick in the settings.

[โ€“] jeze@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

LJ is coming back and is absolutely crushing it with these updates. Thank you, sir. (ใ‚ท_ _)ใ‚ท

[โ€“] wahming@monyet.cc 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Having an annoying bug where regardless of whether I change the upvote or downvote colour, it is the upvote colour that gets changed.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just fixed and pushed the patch live!

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

The blue looks nice

Love the new logo, but especially LOVE the option to change upvote and downvote colors!

It was great on Reddit when usernames would end with a dash and so it seemed like a comment had a negative score.

It does what it says on the tin.

You can toggle it and compare the differences.

You'd think so but I didn't notice

[โ€“] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ljdawson you crazy sunuvabitch you done it again! Is there no end to how you kill it each time, Sync is just the best!

[โ€“] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure if it's just me, but now upvotes are blue and down votes orange in both the button color and the vote count color after voting. Seems backwards? I'm used to orange being upvotes and blue being down.

[โ€“] mom@nom.mom 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh, you must have missed the whole conversation here: https://lemmy.world/post/12922184

There was a whole thing about it. This is how Lemmy itself does it, so Sync changed to match.

Edit to add:

[โ€“] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh that's weird (that Lemmy is reversed I mean). I guess I can just customize them back so no big deal. I kept getting confused thinking I accidentally downvoted stuff.

[โ€“] mom@nom.mom 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's fair, and why there's the option included to change the colors back ๐Ÿ˜

Took me a min to get used to, since I don't really use the web ui much, but I like the colors and it makes more sense to me to follow the colors that actually match the rest of this platform instead of that other one.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 1 year ago

I agree that consistency is good, so the change is probably for the better. For me though, the old way makes more sense when considering the nature of the platform: orange for "hot" and blue for "cold". Plays better into the sorting algorithm of the frontpage for me.

[โ€“] wahming@monyet.cc 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Given we already have an app icon chooser implemented, could we get an 'old' icon that uses red/blue for up/down? You pretty much just have to rotate the existing icon 180

[โ€“] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do you think you'd be able to add a means of embedding images in a comment, please? We're pretty close with the link feature, but it just needs an exclamation mark for it to embed.

Thank you!

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What do you mean sorry? Sync already adds the !
