Simple Icons publishes each brand's own hex next to its glyph, and the
build was throwing it away. Tiles now carry it - Gmail red, Drive blue,
Chat green, Gemini violet - and the glyph is drawn black or white by the
tile's perceived brightness, since brand colours are picked to look right
rather than to carry a white mark. GitHub and Notion are near-black,
Snapchat is pure yellow, and a fixed white glyph loses one end of that.
An app's right corners are now rounded on its own layer. The container's
rounded-xl could never have clipped them: an app is a native view sitting
on top, not something the shell lays out, so it kept square corners and
overhung the curve. Only the right pair - the left edge butts against the
nav, and rounding it would notch the middle of the window.
The traffic lights move to (26, 24) and the drag strip deepens to match,
so they sit inside the window's margin instead of against its corner.
Adds Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, Linear, ClickUp, HubSpot, Shopify and
Cloudflare to the host table.
The favicon service was wrong as often as it was right: a sign-in page's
icon for anything behind a login, nothing at all for a private host, and
both answers cached past any way of asking again. Refreshing could not
fix it, because the staleness was not local. Now every mark is.
Each app is its brand glyph in white on a round tile, coloured from
Tailwind's 500s by hashing the host - you find things by their colour, so
one that moved every launch would be worse than none. A host with no
glyph gets its initial in the same tile.
Matching tries the registrable name first, since a self-hosted tool is
nearly always on a subdomain of its vendor - aputure.odoo.com is Odoo,
not Aputure. A short table covers what a domain cannot answer, which is
most of Google.
The build reduces Simple Icons' 15MB of SVGs to one 4.5MB map in public/,
fetched once rather than parsed into the bundle at every start; the
bundle stays at 233KB. It is generated on every build, so never committed
and never stale.
Traffic lights are offset to sit inside the window margin rather than
crowding its edge.
