We used to joke in 2010s: what is Internet Explorer? It's a program that is used to download a browser.

Nowadays, what is Mozilla Firefox? It's a repository you fork to make a browser.

I'm glad I didn't sit by and deleted all my posts and comments.

Helvetica has its very distinctive soulless and dense corporate look. Arial is the same but diluted, like some instant coffee.

I'd recommend making the circle stroke width equal to the head's stroke width, like in the original icon. Other than that it's a perfect substitute imo

Nostalgic! Ordered 5 of these at the time and distributed among the good people :)

SensMe in Sony and Sony-Ericsson phones and players. It was the tool that analyzed your music collection and sorted it according to energy, mood and tempo.

The best variant was on the later products whey you had a list of channels representing either moods/styles (Energetic, Emotional, Lounge, Dance etc.) or time of the day (from 'Morning' till 'Midnight'). The results were very good, especially for the time channels (except the morning) which were perfectly fitting the mood and pace of times of the day, much like Indian ragas. It really felt like your personal radio stations, freeing you from having to make playlists by yourself ever again...

It was discontinued in 2010s because of declared low adoption by users according to some obscure internal studies :( I've been dreaming of replicating it using Python ever since, but never had time to do a proper research.

A small illustration resulted from attempt to make an icon for the Voyager app. Thought it would fit here. Any feedback appreciated.

Why on Earth did I read this comment? 🥲 This app is so painfully fast and crisp! And it has Vim and SSH out of the box. And its own plugin marketplace... Now I have no choice but to suffer every time I open VSCode(ium) in hope that development continues and soon I will have the thing to ditch it for and finally get rid of my allergies to Electron.

This + package to enable VSCode marketplace. The only VSCode features it lacks afaik are out of the box settings sync and remote container development, which colud be substituted with plugins.

EDIT: also be sure to check out Lapce suggested by Yote.zip - it's a banger.
