@octothorpe @marioguzman 🤨 There’s a byline on our post, as there is on all our posts.

Tone can be hard to convey in text, but our hope was simply to contribute to a conversation. We followed the exact same path Mario did, and we shipped it!

Eventually, we thought ā€œMm, this isn’t quite rightā€, and tried another idea. It seems clear there’s something worthwhile for Mac apps to consider, and perhaps a convention can be established.

@bbech @ricobeck @jblake @marioguzman It was certainly an attempt at exactly that - a conversation. It was great that Mario shared his thinking out loud!
@jacksonhayes Not sure how this reads as ā€œcalling outā€? It was an attempt at a conversation! We faced the same issue, and had the same initial idea. Ultimately, we adjusted it, and wanted to share that.
@marioguzman Have you replaced it with something else? It seems worthwhile to give it some motion (hence the pop), but other ideas could be interesting too!

When SoundSource needs to let you know where it does, it does a nice little pop to say ā€œHere I am!ā€.

Here I Am!

Here’s how our interface visually says ā€œHere I Amā€.
