this week I’m designing an icon for BitRitter: a Bitwarden client for #gnome by @chfkch.

if 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.

hey everyone, you may have guessed reading between the lines, but I lost my job in the recent tech layoffs… also burnt out and realised I need to go back to working on stuff I care about. I hope to gather enough small monthly sponsors to at least cover the bills, so I can: - 🖥️ create beautiful apps for #Linux / #GNOME - ✏️ provide free #design support to #OpenSource projects if you like my work, please consider $1/month to make this possible? thank you. :) https://github.com/sponsors/hbons

@hbons Somehow those four dots immediately make my brain go: Oh a captains shield. Because you know Star Trek

[henryg@pixey.org]

looks good!

[valpackett@social.treehouse.systems]

@hbons coool, whenever i get around to app making rather than kernel stuff i'll be sure to commission icons from you

[theakashmondal@mstdn.social]

@hbons It's really stunning ️.

Which software do you use to create this icon ?

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@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.

[theakashmondal@mstdn.social]

@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.

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@theakashmondal credits go to @jimmac @lapz @tbernard and others for developing such a great style to work with!

[bart@floss.social]

@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/

this week's app icon is for myself.
guess who's back. #SparkleShare

#linux #gnome #app #icon #design

[hbons@mastodon.social]

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!

if you're on the fence (because GitHub/card) I also have the option to use Stripe which supports virtually every (local) payment method:
