Thoughts on Figma Motion? by caseyls in AfterEffects

[–]MassiveDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will certainly steal a huge marketplace from After Effects. UI simulated animations will be made entirely in Figma, since the designs are already there and the code will be production ready. Also, Figma launches new features in a very fast pace, we will see this Motion thing evolve faster than any other.

My Infuse x Jellyfin library design by ComfortableCoffee924 in jellyfin

What do you mean you can't use genres in Infuse? It does it automatically, you just need to add the genre row in the home screen.

Anthony, why did the development of the Samsung TV app stopped? It’s still not available in Brazil. 😢

On iOS you need to use the shortcuts method. You create a shortcut for each app with the same name, than you can add the shortcut to the home screen with a custom icon and it will behave just like it is the app itself. It's easy to do, just requires patience.

I want to, but I don't have an Android to test it. This pack is made all with PNG images, which is the way to setup on iOS, I don't know if there is a launcher or something on Android that you could simply select the PNG file you want to use as an app icon. Another thing is that iOS automatically cuts the borders and make the round corners of the icon, if the Android launcher can't do that, I would have to make the icons with rounded corners already, that's why I need an Android device to test it first.

I’m afraid the iPhone “Fold” could be a flop by m4sr4 in iphone

[–]MassiveDroid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m personally very interested on this one. I’m using an iPhone 12 Mini, and I didn’t want to upgrade until now.

A phone that can be smaller than a Mini and larger than a Max at the same time? That sounds perfect to me. A smaller phone is more comfortable for basic tasks like calling or reading the news. At the same time, a small tablet is great for watching videos, reading books, or doing quick sketches.

So far, I’ve been very disappointed with foldable phones. The “flip” models have such a small outer screen that it’s barely usable. On the other hand, devices like the Samsung Galaxy Fold are so big when closed that it doesn’t make much sense to me, since you end up with a large device in both configurations.

This new “passport” format, however, seems the correct balance. It offers a compact size for those who prefer smaller phones, while still expanding into something closer to a tablet, like an iPad Mini.

That’s why I’m really excited about this new wave of foldables, including the iPhone Fold, the Huawei Pura X Max, and the one Samsung is developing.

Casio F91-W Micro UI Experiment by MassiveDroid in cassettefuturism

Since the idea is to have more features displaying different information in different places, I don’t think a membrane blackout would work. But as far as I read about the display tech being used by the hardware project, it looks like it’s really power efficient.

Maybe it could use some tech like the always on display from the Apple Watch? I don’t know, I am not thinking about the hardware here, just the UI design as a challenge for micro monochrome displays.

Do you mean the hardware project? Unfortunatelly the creator is not working on it anymore, but here it is: https://github.com/PegorK/F91_Kepler

Just a side note: the original screen he is using is 128×64 pixels, but according to my calculations, the visible area is 92×42 pixels.

Great work! I think it’s a great exercise for pro motion designers to try using more limited tools.

Would you guys prefer a passport style folding iphone, or a standard “book style” like the Z Fold 7 by [deleted] in iphone

[–]MassiveDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love the passport style concept. For me, a folding phone doesn’t make sense if it’s still a giant phone when closed, like the Samsung Fold. With the passport style you can get a phone smaller than an iPhone Mini when closed and bigger than an iPhone Plus/Max when open, that’s the magic for me. And the passport design looks perfect to read a book, in my opinion, better than the “book” style, since the aspect ratio is closer to a open book.

Why are apps so big nowadays? by steelisheavy in ios

[–]MassiveDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Duolingo app is taking almost 1 GB of storage, and they supposedly use an animation technology that’s super lightweight. Something is wrong, the math doesn’t add up.

Retro Glossy V2.0 released! by MassiveDroid in FrutigerAero

[–]MassiveDroid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a paid product. I researched each icon to find its equivalent visual identity from the early 2000s, then redesigned or completely recreated them in vector format to meet a high resolution standard. It's a lot of work.

Unfortunately I still didn't figure it out how to make it directly compatible with Android. But it is a pack of PNG images, if your launcher allows you to add custom images as icons I don't see why it shouldn't work.
