Experimenting with new native SVGs to bring into Mastodon core. Instead of the CSS hacks we use in the Mastodon Bird UI, these SVGs provide a more natural solution.
The CSS sprite-based ones are fine and serve their purpose as a theme layered over Mastodon, but I miss a more native approach for the large numbers we have in the posts in our Mastodon fork. The Mastodon team can later decide whether to use these animations, as they will be built against the main branch.
What can I say, I like appealing micro-integrations.

in reply to He Who Remains • • •@darkpixel I mean that instead of being part of a CSS theme (a paint coat), they would be built into the core, of my instance first.
I'm referring to a past discussion (I can't find it now) I had with @renchap, where he said contributions and ideas were welcome regarding the star/heart icon and its animation or SVGs in general.
Since I'm not part of the Mastodon team and just experimenting on my own, we'll have some code to prototype it. They can then decide whether to use it or leave it.
