As per the guidelines, "a brand must be in existence for at least one year (from date of first stable release, where applicable)". So we need to wait 5 more months.
Completes one year on: Nov 11, 2024
I'm going to preface everything below with this: I do love your work on simple icons, really, it's a great useful handy project.
That said, how much time does it take to implement? Honest question., and I'm curious considering that in this case this is literally almost an identical copy-pasta of uptime-kuma.
How much time does it take to read and respond and triage this and my duplicate #11595 thread take? (apologies for the dupe, my bad!)
The work is done, the site has already provided you an svg, you have the colour code. It's done by the same author as uptime-kuma, heck, its the same logo, just another colour. The project has caught on, 9.4k github stars, so the project isn't going anywhere; what you did here is known as bike-shedding. A small detail that doesn't matter is what becomes the sticking point to implementation.
I understand having rules so you don't have to add every little project that may or may not last, but in this (and similar) case(s), some flexibility when you just know a project isn't going to die in the next 5 months and is "popping off" might be a better approach.
You don't need to implement it that very second, but add it to your list of things, however you track what work your going to do, a text file, a scrap of paper, whatever you do, instead of putting it off for 5 months which seems .... arbitrary and even more time consuming to have to re-address mentally in the future instead of knocking an easy one out of the ballpark. Even me addressing this now as I admittedly made bug #11595 which was a dupe of this, took way more time than needed to this issue given that all the relevant things you need to proceed are already there.
I'm not trying to be a Karen, or a "you have to do what I want" and no, I couldn't currently do it myself because I'm not knowledgeable about the project infrastructure, but if I was and I ran this, I would have definitely said to myself, "yeah, that one I can make an exception for" and just done it, that way I don't have to think about it in 5 months, nor risk having someone else write a dupe bug/feature request in the interim .... my OCD mind craves efficiency though.
Hi @mikejaques - thanks for the message.
Implementation of icons isn't too difficult, and can be handled by reading through our contribution guidelines and submitting a PR. The maintainers of this project, myself included, are all volunteers - and are mostly here to enable external contributors as opposed to fulfilling every request ourselves. In that vein, it'll take as long as it takes for someone to pick up the issue.
Regarding the stringency around needing a product / project to exist for over 12mths, that is something we had to introduce to prevent brands (for example) inflating their metrics, getting included in the project, and then going bankrupt 2wks later - causing us more work to remove the icon as part of our next review. Unfortunately, I'm personally not willing to budge on that - as if we make exceptions for this, we will be expected to make it elsewhere.
