which I’m pretty sure they provided at no cost by the way
The original announcement just said “professional designer”. For some reason I’d assumed they were paid. I couldn’t locate evidence either way, but I didn’t look that hard.
That said, this is a geek community, so I think there’s a strong culture of “get it fixed first, praise it second”. I noticed myself doing the same and was inclined to drop a “thank you, BTW!” comment out there to offset that, so I’m glad to see this thread already doing that :)
Once the delete function is back, I’ll consider the design a net positive; until then I’d actually prefer the old version.
TrikeApps paid an external designer, and pays our own staff to make changes. We do this from a budget we make available to SIAI. We have not been paid for this work or any other work we’ve done for SIAI.
