So, do you like it or hate it?

I remember when seeing first time SaidIt to be put off by those smudged icons (and not really stunning overall visuals). It discouraged me from even trying SaidIt and I ended up on other alternative forum. So, here I am trying to (hopefully) improve it.

Made in Inkscape, had to tweak styles a bit. Currently I don't plan to release it. It has a lot of issues, e.g. only compatible with light theme and default styles (pretty sure it won't play nice with most subs' custom css), it's injected via an unsigned browser extension so only few users could actually use it (Vivaldi and maybe Chromium supports that).

If devs are interested, I can send the svg files.

Edit: Wow, I wasn't expecting such interest (remixing?) nor a response from the devs. Spent some time with readme, polished icons a bit (I might give the bulb another pass to be properly lid), added I think pretty free license, so there it is: https://gitlab.com/enefi/pyramidion . svg files are in src/assets. The project is a bit messy (e.g. the build configuration is all over the place), so please don't judge too hard :D.

I have added a link to repo to my original comment, you can get icons there and look at the style hacks I did. But I am not sure how easy it will be to integrate. I am more of a front-end guy, that's why I went with a browser extension (setting up local instance of saidit seemed daunting and I was unsure if saidit devs would welcome my changes, so going the extension path was a safer option). If you have any front-end related questions, feel free to ask :).

PS: If you think older version were better, they should be in a git history in the repo.

Edit: Forgot to write: styles generation is in src/content.ts.
