I’m using an Android (Pixel) phone, and I installed the PWA via Chrome, as it seems to work the best. Is there a way to change the icon easily?

    Copy that. I think there might also be a way to make a custom app launcher shortcut as a widget via some 3rd party apps, but I can’t remember which ones allow for this.

    I’m trying to avoid nova launcher ever since they sold to a 3rd party.

    Figure I’ll just wait it out until a new icon is selected for the voyager rebrand!

    Edit: So I just answered my own question! I remembered how to make a custom app shortcut with a different icon pack or your own image on Android, and you can choose the app name as well! Use this app: Shortcut Maker: Play Store; add a new widget to your home screen and select Shortcut Maker > shortcut (standard). Select wefwef, and customize away.

    Here’s my result for example:

    Edit #2: while this works, it seems that when you use the shortcut created this way, it restarts wefwef and you lose where you left off. Bummer

      Is that rebrand officially happening? That’ll be a really cool nod to Apollo as well as just a cool name.

        It is! Yes! Check the most recent thread from the primary developer of wefwef on c/wefwef

          Looks like the voyagerapp community page is up. I just subscribed. Forgive my ignorance but can you explain the c/wefwef thing? Is that different than the wefwef lemmy.world community that this post is in? I tried searching c/wefwef from the web app and nothing came up. I’m still learning lol

            Ah sorry I was just using shorthand… Yes I was referring to the wefwef community on lemmyworld. I think the correct way to refer to it would be [email protected]

              Thanks! I’d seen it used before for other communities and assumed it was either shorthand for community or a naming scheme from another instance.
