[manton] Inspired by the IWC session on icons, I put together a “http://Micro.blog and the IndieWeb” page using the new proposed icons. I’ve wanted some kind of page like this for a while that ties different specs together. Feedback welcome, haven’t linked it anywhere yet. https://micro.blog/about/indieweb

GWG How do icons go from proposed to adopted?
#
aaronpk that's a great use of the icons!
#
[jeremycherfas] I think you just adopt them and then others might see a groundswell and adopt for their own use. That was my impression from the session on Saturday.

barnaby someone on a completely unrelated discord linked to this little comic where cute skunk furries make the case for creating personal websites https://www.tumblr.com/moldyjunk/732489498284490752
#
barnaby it gets a few things wrong (mentioning wix and w3schools) but those are quickly refuted in the comments

Zegnat There was a little talk about the icons and their colours, since we also had accessibility sessions and they wanted to run some contrast checks :) Hopefully we’ll see more activity around it!

[manton] Thanks! Having a set of icons that all look good together is really nice. I think I’ll start linking to this page and add to it as needed.

#
[Paul_Robert_Ll] I agree – this was exactly the sort of thing I was thinking such icons could be used for. 🙌 Have yet to update the wiki, as on a train with barely any connection, but [manton], you may want to take a look at https://github.com/getindiekit/indieweb-icons (and the icon preview at https://getindiekit.github.io/indieweb-icons/). Tweaked designs, updated colours and SVG!

Loqi [preview] [getindiekit] indieweb-icons: A unified set of icons to represent IndieWeb concepts, formats, and protocols.
#
[manton] Great, checking that out!
#
[manton] Oh, I love the Salmention icon. 🙂
#
[Paul_Robert_Ll] Does it need fins, I wonder? Not very salmony, but just about looks like a fish 😅
#
[manton] Just looking like a fish is enough, I think. These really don’t need a lot of detail, which I think you’ve handled really well.
#
[Paul_Robert_Ll] ☺ Thanks! Been nooddling on ideas for ages, then all started to come together in the week before IWC. Definitely open to feedback on any improvements that could be made.
