How's the new default logo look on my pod now? πŸ˜‚ (_All thanks to @eldersnake@eldersnake for tidying it up! πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ_)_

@adi Not _completely_ 100% happy with it, but it's close I think. I'll wait to hear some more feedback/suggestions from others before committing this as the new default logo. At least now (_as soon as the commit happens and is pushed_) pod logo will be a template basically with {{ .PodName }} as a template variable πŸ‘Œ

@prologic looks good! Looks good on the mobile view too.
@eldersnake you don’t think the logo is too vertically high?

@prologic @eldersnake looks great!! πŸ₯³
@prologic i guess compared to to the old compact one it is, but the different design will always take up a bit more extra vertical space so I don't know how much more it could be compacted.
@prologic personally I think it looks fine 😁 be interested in others input
@eldersnake Ok πŸ‘Œ 😁
@eldersnake Ok πŸ‘Œ 😁
@eldersnake @prologic Yeah, agreed. I like it. πŸ™‚
For a more compact look I would place the text next to the yarn-ball instead of over and under - this is made in mspaint.exe, so no SVG yet...

@darch That works real well. Such a simple change, but makes a big difference.
@prologic @darch might do this better than me (the way it lined up in Inkscape is slightly different than how it is on the site so I had to compensate in Inkscape...bit weird) anyway, give this a try and see the difference: https://files.mills.io/download/twtxt.net.min.svg
@darch Got the SVG for me to apply or shall I try? πŸ€”

@prologic I think it's much slicker! Assuming what everyone else is seeing is this: \n\nThe fact I had to make it a bit unaligned in Inkscape to make it aligned in the web view has me rattled a bit 🀣
@eldersnake I don’t get why all these SVG editors are so terrible πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Mamy of them insert extra cruft into the output too πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

@prologic Hmm, see it looks ever so slightly different in alignment in my Brave browser (the other shot was in Librewolf) πŸ€”\n \n\nMaybe @darch knows more about how to get more consistency.
@prologic You're not wrong. Inkscape puts out a lot of extra stuff in the output. I use a CLI program called svgo to optimize the svg files. In the case of that logo, it went from 6kb down to 2.9kb!

@eldersnake @prologic I don't have much experiance with SVG. What would do is to design it in HTML and CSS so it will render something like this:\n
\n+------+-------------------+\n|      | Pod-name          |\n| LOGO |-------------------+\n|      | A yarn.social pod |\n+------+-------------------+\n

@eldersnake @prologic Oh, actually, yeah: the text to the right is nicer. (Guess that's why I went for it in mine too lol.)
@darch Hmmm I think doing a logo in HTML and CSS is actually more fiddlly and less flexible IHMO πŸ€” Proof is in the pudding with so many nice custom pod logos already πŸ‘Œ

@jlj I agree πŸ‘Œ
@jlj I agree πŸ‘Œ
I'm assuming the slight alignment difference I was talking about is simply the difference in font styling/sizing between browsers, as it's proper text we're dealing with. Might always just be a case of getting it 'near enough' πŸ€”
@eldersnake Probably ☺️

@darch Looks so good!
@jlj @quark thank you. The yarn logo and other icons are from openmoji, so I can't take credit for that. I still need some help with implementing some of the hinted at functionalities that are not in the old design.
@darch I _really_ like what you've done here! @adi Are you still working on something too? @darch You still need me to add the extra context vars we talked about right? I should do that πŸ€— The emoji logo looks good I like the way you've laid it out in HTML/CSS (_is it really a logo though at that point? πŸ€”_) -- Regardless I'm at a point where my gut tells me that we _should_ probably just support "theme packs" if you will.

@prologic thanksπŸ™‚ and yes adding the time ago for timeline and mentions in the topnenu and the in-reply-to for each reply would be great. But we can role this new design out without it if needed. I need to finished rebuilding the CSS for all the subpages as well. I have decided to not base it on one specific CSS template, but to patch it together for different ones alongside my own code. This way we can also make sure it it is easier to customize for pod owners.
@prologic also I used the pod name var in this logo, but the pod description is hardcodes right now
@darch Noice πŸ‘Œ

@prologic @darch Not these days. But I really It's a good idea to reconstruct on new CSS as I mentioned.
