Hylke Bons 🥜this week I’m designing an icon for BitRitter: a Bitwarden client for #gnome by @chfkch.
https://codeberg.org/Chfkch/bitritter
in proper @jimmac fashion, sketches first!
Tobias Bernarddone! drew the rest of the f***ing owl.
played with a couple of palette variations. the blue bordered one works the best on light+dark backgrounds.
Lenniif you like this, I'm aiming to provide at least one #foss project with an app icon every week.
honoured to have gained around 40 supporters in my first jobless month! ❤️
your sponsorship will help me keep this up. :)
Val Packett 🧉@hbons coool, whenever i get around to app making rather than kernel stuff i'll be sure to commission icons from you (:
Bart Louwers@hbons We're realy looking for one! https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-tile-spec/issues/942
Ideally one that matches our current logo (I know it is a bit generic). https://maplibre.org/brand-assets/
because... I've been busy setting up page where #FOSS projects can request free design work for me.
mostly icon related for now as it helps me plan. UI design will come later once I figure out what that process will look like and it's a much bigger time investment.
have a look! ✨
also still looking to gain that single sponsor for this week. 😇
if you're on the fence (because GitHub/card) I also have the option to use Stripe which supports virtually every (local) payment method:
Rodney@dohbuheee I’ve looked at it but it seems it’s also Striped on the backend? don’t want to confuse with too many options unless there’s a clear benefit.

Ondřej Míchal@hbons I really like the way you're approaching this! Big props and inspiration!

Akash Mondal@hbons It's really stunning ❤️.
Which software do you use to create this icon ?
@theakashmondal thank you!
at the moment I use Figma. but I was a big Inkscape user. any editor supporting SVG will work for this simple style. :)
@hbons The icon is simple but it has an eye appealing feel to it. It's like I really want to see it.
I've only used Figma twice or thrice to align the icon on android. Otherwise, I use Boxy SVG.
@theakashmondal credits go to @jimmac @lapz @tbernard and others for developing such a great style to work with!
