To be honest, the new icons are kinda better. https://www.fastcompany.com/91545582/google-workspace-icons-redesign

Some are no longer the circular red/green/blue/yellow rotation, though Google Maps icon still look kinda similar to Gmail's 🫠

@strk@floss.social it might seem fast but it's not 😀. Most work are tracked from Mastodon web's github repo where usually the newer features are there and they go through multiple iterations before finalized, and before release candidates are out. I keep track of them and follow along. Bigger features still take weeks to be implemented on Phanpy. If you use Tusky, maybe could give @pachli@mastodon.social a try too.

@fedicat@pc.cafe I think as long as the bookmark icon 🔖 is the same, that's fine? Technically we already have the "like" vs "favourite" and ⭐ vs ❤️ inconsistencies for the past few years, so adding another one is probably… not a big deal 🤣 Now I'm debating to use "Unsave" or "Remove from Saved" 🤔

🤔 2 cents:

"Bookmark" saves a reference but it gives the impression that you need to organize them later.
"Save" saves a copy but it gives the impression that you can just look it up later.
Logically, “Save” sounds wrong because saved posts are kinda ephemeral — they can be edited, deleted, reported, etc.
However, “Save" feels lighter than “Bookmark” because it doesn’t require organising them, so there's less friction for users to use it.

Twitter’s “Bookmark” may just be legacy.
