The simpler hand design in this one is definitely better. I did have one thought that I wanted to pose, however. Would the fingers being together instead of apart make much of a difference? I can almost see this design being symbolic of a ‘high five’ instead of a ‘halt!’
example:
Apologies, should be fixed now
Looks like it turned out great!
How did you manage the adapter?
Doing good work out there 👍
Salt annealing!!! I just saw a video on this: link
Oh, nice fit! Are you pretty satisfied with it so far? I don’t imagine it would have any issues with the cold temps, and it pretty much looks like it came with the fridge. Good work!
Hey, could you show us a bit more perhaps? It’s not very clear what you fixed exactly.
Is it vulnerable to enshittification?

Obligatory fuck Amazon
I’ve had some luck getting some of my people to switch over by asking them to switch as a favor to me specifically (if they want to of course… And they can always just not use it if they end up not liking it).
Asking them in a more direct way like this seems to work, even if there’s some reluctance at first. I tell them that it helps me out because I can also send stuff to them on my computer, which is true. Then there’s the fact that I just really like all of the extra features it has (it’s just a really good chat app in general), emoji replies, reply quotes, and read receipts to name a few.
If they need any other reasons, the last things I tend to get into are the privacy/security aspects.
Boom, all of a sudden they’re using something better, and even though they’re probably still using those other (shit) apps, at least I don’t have to. You have to start somewhere, right?
but you fuckers still got a boat though, even if it is leaking a little…
Definitely wish this redesign could actually happen. Thanks for sharing!
Do you have a link? I will live with my regrets. Lol
Steam does just that though, it’s design is shit for desktop.
True.
I’d recommend curating the ‘subscriptions’ feed first (also set it as the default), and then only browse the ‘all’ feed selectively.
I’d like to commend your attempt here, and not sound discouraging or anything like that. Personally though, I like the other design a little bit better. Like another commenter suggested, this design seems to evoke security more than privacy. The shield and lock seem to be pretty commonly associated with those other meanings already. The dove being inside the lock definitely seems to overcomplicate things a bit too.
That being said, I do think your coloration and black undertones look better though and overall there’s a bit more visual interest.
