So an SVg icon can be automatically converted into the Android adaptive icon? That would explain where they’re supposed to come from.

Thanks! 😃 I don’t think I’ve really ever talked or have written anything about developing without sight. In the blind community, it’s a fairly common skill which is not very special, so I’m usually either straight up writing about my projects or giving technical insights on various topics for people without explicit coding background.

Development without eyesight is pretty similar to the normal development. We do not have fancy things like WYSIWYG interface designers, but good devs rarely use those anyway, whether you use VisualStudio, VS Code, Vim or anything else, the general idea of programming is simply working with text in various languages, and blind people are really good in that discipline. Writing programs is essentially just instructing the computer what to do under different circumstances, so it’s more a matter of being able to logically, exactly and accurately express one’s ideas and intentions, which is a skill not related to the eyesight.

So, if you’ve ever seen a blind person taking notes or composing a textual document, programming is pretty much the same, except we call the compiler from time to time and get a working (or almost working 😃) program as a result.

Thanks for your work and interest! 😁 There are already two open PR, so thanks to the amazing community, I quickly got from the situation of having no choices to choosing from several alternatives.

I really love the idea of the eye’s pupil being represented by the globe in your proposal. It evokes in me the feeling of all the glamorous world being perceived through one’s eyes, all the stunning beauty that can be brought to a human only through vision. Which is exactly what I want to achieve with my app, bringing to people the world which can be experienced only through the eyesight.

However, I think the app icon is actually too small space for this. You know, people have gazillion apps installed, the icons become super-tiny, the Earth would be barely recognizable and it wouldn’t communicate the idea. I think a much better place for this would be the project’s graphical banner, which is much larger, and serves exactly the purpose of communicating the app’s purpose through interesting graphics. Play store definitely does have this, and I think f-Droid too. I usually put some non-sense there, because I’m lazy to look for something proper. But if you’re in a drawing mood and feel inspired, I believe my project could absolutely utilize your work! 😉

FadCam looks exactly like what I’m looking for, but looking at the author’s GitHub, it’s a part of fadsec-lab suite, described like:

FadSec-Lab is a suite of Shariah Compliant, ad-free, privacy-focused open-source apps dedicated to enhancing user security and privacy.

What exactly is a Shariah compliant app? 99% of the descriptions look great, but I’m unable to interpret this statement. Has anyone used this app?
