        I don't know what the appetite is for doing new stuff at this stage, but we could do some fun stuff with text strings there. Like if you listened to mainly 70s music we say 'I'm still a flower child deep down, I mainly listened to music from...'
      • (sorry, in the current 'data' mockup I mean)
      • monkey
        Yeah, all of that is pretty easy to add, even last minute

        Maybe that's up to mayhem who will create the pics themselves? Does that sound fun mayhem? I'm happy to figure out a bunch of thresholds and text strings for them
      • adhawkins: btw, I've never heard of a mbid link shortener sorry
      • adhawkins
        Thanks aerozol, just thought it might be something that had already been thought of.
      • jasje
        aerozol: was cooking up some designs for in-app yim activity and came up with the firstpage have a look!
      • adhawkins
        Updating flactag after a long break, and thought it'd be nice to include a link to the release so you can take a look at it. It's console based though, so would ideally be a short link that can be copy / pasted.
      • aerozol
        No love for incredibly long strings of numbers and letters? Pff
      • adhawkins
        I'm not sure the average link to a release page would fit in 80 columns :)
      • aerozol
        If you don't know your favorite mbid off by heart then are you even a mb user
      • Anyway, obviously short links would be awesome. Maybe someone has tried before but I don't think so
      • adhawkins
        Maybe something just link mb.link/rel/abcd-01234-12356... ?
      • aerozol
        Ah, shorten the mb part, gotcha. I would wait for a more technically minded person to jump on if you want serious input. Getting late in the evening/early in the morning now for most of them
      • adhawkins
        I did just consider using a URL shortener API, but most of them need some sort of authentication, so no good for an Open Source utility like flactag.
      • aerozol
        jasje: nice, the single scroll per 'stat' is what I was thinking too. Gonna look good. The design/branding needs to align completely with the desktop YIM though - have you had a look at the current design?
      • Ideally you wouldn't have to redesign anything, just re shuffle what's needed for mobile, and do some nice pagination/scroll navigation
      • jasje
        aerozol: Yes i did have a look on the website but the thing is android as whole is going more towards rounded ness.
      • aerozol
        If you can just take the existing content then maybe you'll have time for a bit of animation or something fun
      • jasje
        and currently the LB follows the same
      • about the animation part
      • aerozol
        YIM definitely needs to have the same branding across the board
      • jivte
        aerozol: Hey The mockups are ready with all recommendations implemented :) (https://www.figma.com/file/Y41u3SMbnKvCsGZW1FTj...)
      • jasje
        so what do you recommend?
      • aerozol
        The app is a bit of a wild west so far, you're usually more or less free to do your own thing, but with YIM we should be consistent (eventually the rest of the app might start getting more attention as well, but not yet :D)
      • jasje
        so should i add the 2021 wrapped png on the website into the app?
      • aerozol
        Yes, colors, imagery, fonts etc should all match.
      • Tweaked where necessary for mobile, but generally speaking
      • jasje
        Yes yesroboto right?
      • can you provide me with the image assets of the site?
      • aerozol
        If you can work on app specific navigation etc for now it might be easier - because monkey has yet to do the desktop design and he might change some things as he goes. And then you can align with what he's done
      • Does that sound workable?
      • I'll export all the image assets sometime today
      • jasje
        Okay!
      • Thanks!
      • monkey: how do you think about the design?
      • feel*

        jasje: this is the 2022 YIM that the app should align to: https://www.figma.com/file/uNW4kPedMvaeCRzGJ5l4...
