Clojurians Log v2

Yeah, an admin can add it. Do you have the icon itself?

I do. Is there a specific format or size that is required?

Slack doesn't list specific hard requirements. I'd make it a square PNG with a transparent background. It should also probably be checked in both a light theme and a dark theme. Some emojis can end up being straight up invisible otherwise.

Ok. Can you help getting it added?

Maybe, I haven't checked. Can you simply attach it as a file to this chat? Usually Sean adds emojis since he's the owner of the workspace.

I think all admins can add emojis. At least I can. Please check best practice for a Slack emoji with a serach engine or LLM, @alexander.vanelsas. Then attach the file in this thread and one of us will add it. As @p-himik says, you want the emoji to work both for dark and light themes. Sometime it is rendered pretty tiny so it shouldn’t be too complicated, and have only the absolut necessary margins.

Thanks, I will review what I have and send it here shortly!

Here is the icon. Can it be called baredom ?

Looks good. Unfortunately Slack does not have enough money to develop the feature where they could convert any icon that the UI can correctly render into a format the server supports. 😃

Believe or not, that's actually tough to implement in a way that won't invite dozens of new issues. :) Browsers render SVGs differently, fonts in different apps are chosen differently. My crystal ball shows a plethora of issues like "my SVG icon shows properly in my vector editor, but in your web app it looks like crap, please fix ASAP".

Ow Lord

Shall I convert to png?

Is the wxh ok?

Here is a png

baredom

Thank you!

A cheaper solution, if Slack is that tight on resources would be to not accept svgs to be submitted in the first place. But even the more can-of-wormy solution is within reach. T-shirt printing sevices has handled it since decades. 😃

😂

Baredom deserves a channel?

I dont know to be honest. Its my first project. Not sure if anyone will really like or use it 😅

My experience is that a channel is good to have somewhere to ask about the thing. Or just check what has been asked so far and such. Channels are lightweight, in the sense that they do only take up mental space for the people joining. People can of course use issues on the repo, but it’s a bigger step for many, so you could miss feedback.

True enough

Well if it is possible then I am ok with it. I will use it

I think you can just create it. At least it used to be that all users can create channels at will.

👍

@alexander.vanelsas Let us know if you need help creating the channel (or can't find the Slack menu item for it)... Thanks @pez for adding baredom !

Thanks Sean! Will create it with the next release i think. Thanks for all the help guys!
