1 issue with where you have put the text is if you do have a savings pot, the savings provider will overwrite the text will it not? I haven’t tested but looking at my app and looking at the site thats how it looks?

Yep that’s right - on a savings pot there is text in the top right corner, and a leaf icon in the bottom right.
It’s only visible in ‘carousel mode’ (i,e, when the card is most embiggened) not in the small-icon list, or in feed though.
And if you add text to the left, you have a padlock for locked pots 
So all text needs to be to the right, everyone joins plus, no savings pot texts

Morning folks 
I hadn’t considered the savings and lock pots issue (I don’t have either right now). I’ve made the text option collapsed by default for now. I think the next step will be to do two things:
- Text position - top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right
- Text size options
I need to do some rewriting before I can do that, adding new features has become a nightmare. I’m not gunna have time to work on this until next week now so I hope everyone has a nice week and I’ll post when I’ve got some updates on this

I really like following this project from a nerdy perspective to see how it is developing and you’re solving issues. Keep up the good work 
Given that it is very popular on here and you even got a shoutout from Monzo on their socials, do you have any stats that you could share? How many people are using it, number of images generated, how many people generate on average and so on…

Thank you 
Twitter says my original tweet got 89k impressions and 10k engagements. Not sure exactly what those numbers mean, but still interesting.
I prefer not to have to put cookie warnings on stuff so I only have some very rudimentary analytics on the site (something I hacked together myself) so I only know when someone visits/loads the page but it’s not broken down by unique visitors or anything like that. I added the tracking some time on the 22nd, a day after I launched it and it shows 2748 views since then.
I don’t track images generated or downloaded so I can only guess whats popular based on screenshots people post. But I did base the gallery/popular images on what I’d seen a lot of. By far the most common is the PS5 one.

You may want to look into Fathom, it’s a decent privacy preserving analytics tool - so no notices or GDPR compliance issues.

Oh I’d forgotten about Fathom, hadn’t looked at that since they launched the new version.
Fathom was exactly what I was looking for so I’ve added it to the site and added an event to track downloads (no user data, just “someone downloaded an image”). I’ve also made the stats page public and added a link at the bottom for anyone interested in that kind of thing: https://app.usefathom.com/share/hhytrxsk/potimages.rknight.me

Afternoon everyone, I’m back after a nice break (except I fractured my ribs falling down a hill 🤦️). I’ve made a few updates:
- Switch between icon styles easily with new buttons below the preview
- Hide or show the icon if you want to download just the background
- Icon search now includes the font-awesome key (for example you can search for
cc-and you’ll see all credit card brands) - Icons now show the name underneath, makes it easier to remember ones you like
- Lots of changes behind the scenes working towards making it easier to add new features
Having analytics has been really fun too, it hit 2k images downloaded some time in the past day which is way more than I ever expected so I’m glad people are enjoying it.
I will get to the text options soon, but I wanted to get these other features in first.

ooh that sounds painful. Thanks for the tool it’s fabulous! If you’re considering any further work on it, I’m finding the interest pot overlay (the leaf symbol) clashes quite a lot with the images, so it would be great to be able to move the image off centre.
I’ve heard that a few times so no promises but I’ll get that added to the list to consider going forward.
Here’s what the leaf overlay looks like in relation to the pot images if that’s useful for any tweaks. I think you said you don’t use the savings pots so hopefully this is helpful?

Thanks, thats really helpful.
report - I tried to use it for the first time over the last few days now Duotone Icons are there. In Edge on iOS they don’t download at all 
Had to resort back to my figma file
Eugh! Why are you using Edge on iOS

Can’t stand Safari, and after the Chromium update Edge became my primary browser on Mac and Iike to use the same across all devices.
The Edge thing was hard for me to grasp too, I’ve spent all my years as a developer berating IE and Edge, now I use Edge

That’s really odd because Edge is basically just Chrome under the hood as you say so I’d expect it to work the same. I’ll look into it when I get a chance, might be a bit harder to track down on iOS though.
