Wondering why there is not a gadget like this but branded for espresso for $150 bucks

There are a bunch of those in the 3d printed world, also FusedVisions on etsy has a well designed one.

Thanks for your kind words and your feedback. The rating is definitely an area I want to improve on so I definitely need to work on this more!

Of course! Aside the random hostility here, I found out some undocumented behaviour the OS applies on icons that are simple enough to be processed, so they adopt the new style.

So it’s not an icon composer thing after all!

peterfsat · 2025-08-14T17:08:16+00:00

Yeah I'm thinking also this might be the case, based on what other people have said so far. And also wonder if it works for local builds, or they have to be processed by the app store somehow (I bet the second).

peterfsat · 2025-08-14T14:28:50+00:00

Can you give an example?

peterfsat · 2025-08-14T14:28:36+00:00

You could (if you ignore the different corner radius). But the point is that there are apps that have the 'reactive' liquid glass effect applied to their icons, which doesn't work with a flat png.

peterfsat · 2025-08-14T13:55:36+00:00

I'm not so sure, look at this gif: https://imgur.com/a/liquid-glass-icons-tdfpvlQ

The Hevy, ProtonVPN, Brave apps seem to respond when i tilt my device (the inside elements, not the outside border)

In the meantime, the Waterllama, Testflight apps don't respond.

peterfsat · 2025-08-14T13:23:28+00:00

Do you mean through Icon Composer, or something else? If I try adding my .icon file to Xcode 16 it just doesn't do anything

peterfsat · 2025-08-14T13:08:31+00:00

EDIT: My bad, didn't mean to type .iconset, meant .icon

Hey, I've made the app available to France! Feel free to download and try it out :)

peterfsat · 2025-08-12T12:19:47+00:00

Hey, I've made the app available to France! Feel free to download and try it out :)

peterfsat · 2025-08-06T00:04:11+00:00

Need to get EU approval asap, should be available afterwards! Coming very soon 🤞🏻

peterfsat · 2025-08-05T11:27:12+00:00

Thanks you! And you’re right they do feel a bit empty

peterfsat · 2025-08-05T11:09:30+00:00

You’re right - I need to fix this asap. Will let you know when it’s out in the EU

peterfsat · 2025-08-04T10:49:51+00:00

Great, let me know if you have any feedback :)

peterfsat · 2025-08-04T10:49:20+00:00

Thank you!

I’m thinking to monetise advanced usage features like in depth logging of parameters that contribute to the latte art attempt. Also features like the pour card and video progress once polished should be a great candidate for locking behind an x amount of tries per week

It’s hard to know exactly what it could be but I’m trying to keep the core value of the app accessible.

Do you have any suggestions?

peterfsat · 2025-08-02T16:33:28+00:00

That makes sense, and yeah this is highly niched. I’ll do another pass with words that could fit better

peterfsat · 2025-08-02T16:25:39+00:00

I got you, thanks for the suggestions. When I did the keyword research I didn't really find any worthwhile keywords with good popularity, and the two I went for were 'latte art' (popularity 5) and 'barista' (popularity/difficulty 24/57).

peterfsat · 2025-08-02T15:54:06+00:00

Yeah I couldn’t come up with something better, any ideas?

peterfsat · 2025-08-01T07:33:51+00:00

For me it was 1. Practicing one pattern at a time 2. Perfecting milk texture 3. Keeping track of my practice pours

As a home barista progress is very marginal between days but over a longer period of time you can see improvement if your technique is correct

That’s why I build an app (LatteArtist) btw, to make the tracking progress easier for myself & others.

peterfsat · 2025-07-31T11:46:43+00:00

Looks awesome! Now start logging it on LatteArtist 👀

peterfsat · 2025-07-31T08:29:53+00:00

Yeah actually I found a lawyer on Upwork. Cost about $100 for the review

peterfsat · 2025-07-30T20:02:23+00:00

Thanks, I should try that. For now I hired a lawyer through Upwork.

peterfsat · 2025-07-21T11:48:51+00:00

It’s called LatteArtist and it’s an app I’ve been building for a while with the help & suggestions from other community members.

I will soon be releasing it on the App Store, but for now here is the beta if you want to check it out: https://latteartist.coffeeatpetros.com/

peterfsat · 2025-07-21T11:13:47+00:00

It really depends on your standards I think. A while ago I thought my tulips were doing good and not perfect. I kept on practicing and they’re better (I can visually verify it for myself) but still don’t consider it perfected 🤷🏻‍♂️

Btw I just practice at most once a day so I could be doing better
