So an SVg icon can be automatically converted into the Android adaptive icon? That would explain where they're supposed to come from.

Thanks! 😃 I don't think I've really ever talked or have written anything about developing without sight. In the blind community, it's a fairly common skill which is not very special, so I'm usually either straight up writing about my projects or giving technical insights on various topics for people without explicit coding background.

Development without eyesight is pretty similar to the normal development. We do not have fancy things like WYSIWYG interface designers, but good devs rarely use those anyway, whether you use VisualStudio, VS Code, Vim or anything else, the general idea of programming is simply working with text in various languages, and blind people are really good in that discipline. Writing programs is essentially just instructing the computer what to do under different circumstances, so it's more a matter of being able to logically, exactly and accurately express one's ideas and intentions, which is a skill not related to the eyesight.

So, if you've ever seen a blind person taking notes or composing a textual document, programming is pretty much the same, except we call the compiler from time to time and get a working (or almost working 😃) program as a result.

Thanks for your work and interest! 😁 There are already two open PR, so thanks to the amazing community, I quickly got from the situation of having no choices to choosing from several alternatives.

I really love the idea of the eye's pupil being represented by the globe in your proposal. It evokes in me the feeling of all the glamorous world being perceived through one's eyes, all the stunning beauty that can be brought to a human only through vision. Which is exactly what I want to achieve with my app, bringing to people the world which can be experienced only through the eyesight.

However, I think the app icon is actually too small space for this. You know, people have gazillion apps installed, the icons become super-tiny, the Earth would be barely recognizable and it wouldn't communicate the idea. I think a much better place for this would be the project's graphical banner, which is much larger, and serves exactly the purpose of communicating the app's purpose through interesting graphics. Play store definitely does have this, and I think f-Droid too. I usually put some non-sense there, because I'm lazy to look for something proper. But if you're in a drawing mood and feel inspired, I believe my project could absolutely utilize your work! 😉

FadCam looks exactly like what I'm looking for, but looking at the author's GitHub, it's a part of fadsec-lab suite, described like:

FadSec-Lab is a suite of Shariah Compliant, ad-free, privacy-focused open-source apps dedicated to enhancing user security and privacy.

What exactly is a Shariah compliant app? 99% of the descriptions look great, but I'm unable to interpret this statement. Has anyone used this app?

Thanks for all the awesome feedback!

The reason for using Alt+C & Alt+P by default is to make sure Clipshare doesn't collide with the system clipboard. Since as awesome as a global clipboard is, most of the time I copy something I'm working just on a single machine, so there is no reason for the data to go anywhere. Clipshare simulates Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V keypresses on these occassions (unless the sync variants are used), so the shortcuts should in many cases integrate nicely with the graphical environment.

Serverless setups are absolutely cool, though, in this particular use-case, it depends. Many of the machines I need to copy data between are actually VMs, where NAT usually stands in the way (I mean yes, it doesn't need to, but I sort of like the network isolation it provides), some VM | remote access software provides clipboard synchronization, but it's usually either "way too synchronized" to my liking (weakening isolation), or, another extreme, requires carrying away the focus to activate.

Thanks for mentioning barrier, seems pretty fancy! It's a bit different use-case than Clipshare is aiming at, though, with multicomputer setups, it seems there is a considerable space where these two do overlap (or supplement each other).

Transferring files is a functionality I would really want to implement. Though, I'm not yet decided how to tackle the problem, I mean, I could certainly do the simplest possible approach - data streaming through the server. However, it feels sort of like reinventing the wheel, many people have already implemented sophisticated data transfer algorithms more or less exactly for what I'm trying to do. I need to check out crates.io, if I can find anything nice that could be usable in this context.

Perhaps we should reconsider the definition of write-only scripts.
