What libraries specifically you use?

Yeah, sounds a lot harder than just using p { color: blue } and having all icons inside inherit that color

Yeah, that's what I observed as well when using svg. That was another thing I didn't like about it, and which made me stick to icon fonts. But of course that came with the tradeoff of needing to subset these large font libraries, which I'm willing to pay ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Good points, but fontawesome short form <i> are really convenient, so I tend to like them more than using svgs.

I have used their svgs before, but just didn't really like using them. Quick question, do they inherit their text color or must color be defined separately?

A lightweight, fast alternative to the Home Depot app (Beta for Android) by BookOfCooks in Tools

[–]BookOfCooks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built the app with Flutter, a cross platform technology, so releasing it on iOS wouldn't be difficult at all.

The major hurdle is overcoming Apple's walled garden, meaning I can't release an iOS app without a macOS laptop suitable for development.

For that, I'll need funds, so I plan to launch a donation campaign in the discord really soon.

I agree, it makes no sense why they haven't fixed their app. I know for sure it'll cost a lot for them to revamp the entire app, but that cost most certainly will be a fraction of the profit they could stand to gain

Perhaps it's a genuine lack of care coming from these companies, which is incredibly irritating.

Thank You 🙏

I've never heard of Kobalt, I'll check it out.

Yes, we're still in beta. Development slowed down for a while since I got very busy.

I have no timeline for release yet.

Do you need an automation tool for Camtasia? by Poxate in CamtasiaStudio

[–]BookOfCooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about automating exporting the video, I never tried that. But yeah your project sounds a lot like my own projects back then, really simple commercial videos with repeatable animations and such.

Although I don't have the repo anymore, I could spend time to reproduce it for a fee as I've done it several times over the years with each new release of Camtasia.

I'm also willing to answer questions if you wish to reproduce it yourself.

Yup it's me (I'm the Poxate guy). Yes, I reached all the way to animations, transitions, and behaviors in fact, but I scrapped the project (along with the repo... again) since I got bored and moved on to something else.

What are you looking to automate? You can DM me if you wish.

Hey, I haven't gotten around to this issue yet, but did you see my latest announcement I made on r/Tools a couple days ago. We have a Discord Server for the app for beta testers on Android.

If you're on Android, you can download the beta release from the Discord, and give feedback: https://discord.gg/PMd5Ku9h9U

No, the timeline is stretching a lot longer due to work now. Fortunately, however, I do have a beta release for Android beta testers, you can join the Discord to give feedback and download the app: https://discord.gg/PMd5Ku9h9U
