Firstly, sorry to all the telegram users here that need to hear my whining about whatsapp problems, we're almost at the end of the road

I have noticed how one of the bugs on whatsapp works

If you have a "recent sticker" from the pack before the update, and you try to post from there, instead of posting directly from the pack, it's possible for you to get some problems, like it not sending, or someone not receiving them.

This is because of whatsapps bad approach to stickers, and now that the file is not accessible anymore, it has no way of posting it. So whatsapp recent stickers should be removing the sticker, but it isn't which is bad.

So please, when using those stickers, do not use it from "recent" stickers, open the pack and find it from there.

I need to share this with people to be honest
Lost my shit

You guys must be tired of hearing this by now
But whatsapp stickers should now almost definitely not be bugged anymore

I tested each of them properly before roll out this time, I could send and receive all the files, and that one culprit is no longer giving issues.

Honestly, I have 0 idea what was wrong with it. I made the filesize a tiny bit smaller to just have it be "different" and it worked. Honestly, I don't even know how something could be so badly implemented.

Anyways, App is updated
Added more stickers to it as well.

Unless something goes wrong again, I won't really be updating about it again here, until I add another show to it, or maybe after I finish the first rollout. completely.

Also glad I could show some of the people that joined here already just how much of a better messaging application telegram is. It seriously makes me happy when people drop whatsapp for Telegram, which is probably the primary reason I am going through all this effort.

Second reason being I don't really want people to just take my files and do what they want with them, also violating the licensing.

Any complaints if I remove the Takiya stickers from the Dragon Maid pack, and make them freely available in png format to replace them with some better stickers? (Well better in my opinion at least, but I like to think I have good standards ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
anonymous poll

Keep Takiya – 38
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 56%

HA, WEEB THINKING THEY HAVE TASTE, GOOD ONE, yeah please remove Takiya. – 22
👍👍👍👍 32%

Remove Takiya – 8
👍 12%

👥 68 people voted so far.

It's worth noting this vote is leaning in favour of keeping Takiya
I will only remove the files when new ones are available, and if the vote is 75%+ for removing it after 1 day

If everyone is in favour of keeping him, I will use sticker usage statistics to identify the stickers that will least be missed and try to put something in their place.

Oh, something I also wanted to say, I will be going through the dragon maid pack this weekend, and trying to fix all the artifacts I have encountered on existing files, if you have not seen them yet, then don't worry about it, this will impact you in 0 way, however it's something that bothers me a lot.

When I started making stickers originally I jumped between many different tools to try and make stickers properly, I ended up on photoshop in the end because it just worked the best, even with some of its flaws. The files made on older applications I found some problems with and I wish to correct them, or I won't sleep well at night

If you're using the whatsapp version, Sorry to say but I am not updating those. Those will stick to the bad versions, not because I want your experience to be worse, but it will cause bugs on whatsapp if I replaced the file from the original pack, and you tried to send it from your recent stickers. It tries to query the app you have installed for the file, and if the file is no longer there, it just shoots blanks.

I will pin the poll for now so that it has attention instead of my ranting

My day has officially been made better
Thank you apple, you might be grossly overpriced, but at least you have standards

🚨 APPLE IS DELETING ALL WHATSAPP STICKERS APPS FROM THE APP STORE!

Apple is reporting that all WhatsApp Stickers are violating their guidelines. The main reasons:
1) There are too much apps with similar behavior.
2) It requires WA to be installed. Apps should not require another apps.
3) The design of these apps is the same.

They don’t want a lot of apps doing the same thing, so they won’t approve other submissions and updates. They are already deleting any stickers app from the App Store.

==TG==

More stickers planned for this weekend
(I am posting this here so that I stop being lazy over the weekend, and feel obligated to make something)

Reminder:
Brei is gay

That is all

Many of you already know this image,
But I moved it into one of the packs just so that I at least have some form of Padoru accessible in my packs

It's December

Fixed the shadow after some feedback that I got
I was experimenting with different colours and forgot to fix this up
There might be another one in the pack that has the wrong colour thinking about it now
So I just need to look out for it

I have like 3 stickers that have been completed, but don't want to upload them yet until I have at least 5 to update with, so that it looks cleaner

I might then leave the pack as is, and get working on the next pack after that to be honest
Having open slots could be good for finding better expressions later down the line
