• I checked with L1C4U5E@lemmy.world and they're fine with the fediverse-star-sign being in here
• If you want to credit me somewhere, my Github profile probably makes the most sense (I'd prefer my GitHub username)
• Regarding the licence, do you need me to put something somewhere in a file or is it enough to tell you that it's all my stuff that I'm uploading here?
• Would you like the source file for all the variations etc in case something needs to be adjusted in the future (affinity designer)? If so, where would you like me to upload it?
• I think it'd make sense to let people know how they can customise the icon on iOS/Android. As mentioned before, on iOS there's this shortcut that can be used (alongside other options) and I'm guessing there's a way to do that on Android as well. It would probably be best to do that alongside the URLs of the other contenders (maybe some more of the original submitted ones, I'm sure there are some in there that other people would prefer). There could also be a settings option that explains how and provides some alternative icons to choose from, although I'm not sure if the better way would be to wait for the potential native wrapper and do it there properly.

Let me know if something isn't quite right or you have any questions :)

• Just added credits and license to the readme! Let me know if that's fine with you.
• For source files, can you attach them to this issue and/or a discussion? Then I can add them to a wiki page.
• I'll definitely mention that workaround for custom icon :)
• Lastly, I plan on working on an "about" page in the app which will be a good place for logo credit in-app! Does that sound good?

All of that is perfect, thanks :)

Here's the source file (Affinity Designer)

@aeharding I noticed that the icon looks a bit blurry, for one a 1024x1024 version isn't linked and for another no matter what I do safari is always picking a lower res version (I think 180x180) even if a better one is available. The only thing that seems to help is remove all except 1024x1024. I don't think that would have any side effects and as I understand it it could still fall back to the "shortcut icon" (logo.png). Changing it in the manifest also doesn't affect anything.

Do you think it's worth removing everything except for a 1024x1024 (420kb) version (App Store app icon size)?. 512x512 (135kb) is also a lot better. I attached an image, from left to right it's: current icon (prob. 128), 512, 1024
