lily if she was a programming language syntax:

proc main(argc: int32, argv: ref [char]) -> int32:
   decl name: ref [char] = "lily"
   fprintln("hi, %s", name)
   ret 0
end

Rebrand I did for @lilypad, a social media site being developed by @lily. The logo is a loose combination of a lily pad and the generic social network icon you’ve likely seen plenty of times before. Took a few iterations to get this exactly right (working with circles can be hard sometimes), but got there in the end. A timeline of the drafts I did to get to this final logo can be found in the comments. 🏞️

i rewrote the @lilypad error handling code, so now i need to cause as many possible errors to see if it reacts properly, like unplugging my internet and crashing the server 😭

wait. my computer is now only using 9GiB of ram instead of 10. could it be that the misskey line of instance softwares’ frontends are so badly optimised that it uses almost an entire gigabyte of ram? jesus christ. at least it’s not as bad as twitter though, that used 2GiB.

my fedi instance is gonna be down for a while so wasteof and cohost r probably gonna be my main platforms for a while til it’s back (or maybe lilypad will drop (unlikely; it’s hard to dev when it keeps oom'ing my computer))

EDIT: it’s back and still uses 1GiB of ram

is that a mother trucking lily reference?

i made a regex for determining if someone is a lily: /lill?(y|i(e$)?)(th|an(ne|a)?)?/gmi

explanation:

  • match lil

  • maybe match another l

  • match y or i

  • if matched i, match e if it's at the end of the string

  • maybe match th, or an

  • if matched an, maybe match ne or a

EDIT: more efficient version by @domi@donotsta.re (src: https://donotsta.re/objects/02824ead-e4a6-4aef-a129-827aab59d3ea) /lil*?[yi]([ea]|th|an(ne|a)?)?/gmi

explanation:

  • match li, then l again once or twice

  • match y or i

  • maybe match one of:

    • e or a

    • th

    • an, then ne or a

the emulator doesn’t support networking sadly, i think this project will have to wait a few weeks til i buy the shell for my psp

i should post on wasteof from a psp but i took mine apart so i’ll need to do it on an emulator until i put it back together

the 3 “X”s problem

we currently have 3 “X”s - “X” itself, threads, and bluesky. we don't need any more “X”s. lilypad aims to be the third tumblr, making tumblr itself, cohost, and lilypad

what is an “X”?

an “X” is characterised by:

  • completely featureless black and white theme, rarely with small amounts of blue

  • owned by a huge corporation who are clearly focused on making large sums of money

  • incoherent or unsearchable branding

these tropes are often made fun of, but inexplicably draw large user bases.

then what makes a tumblr?

a tumblr is characterised by:

  • very distinct and coherent design style and theme

  • user-focused app (themes, content, asks, etc)

  • fun (mascots (see cohost’s eggbug), colour, brand accounts have a personality (see tumblr’s twitter))

conclusion

the world needs more tumblrs. go ahead and start a silly little wasteof clone, there are/were already a few (darflen, postLit). you might learn something new, and you'll definitely feel happier than scrolling the latest “X”.

what do you think of the logos?
