How much would you pay for this glow effect icon pack?
Hi Indie Hackers,
I recently launched MyIcon.io a tool that can be used for free to customise and download iOS 14 icons.
Yesterday I launched an update to include some paid preconfigured icon styles. And today I was playing around with SVGs and created this red neon glow effect.
Would you pay for this, and if so, how much?
Are you trying to validate your idea by this post, or make sales? If the former, then I suggest reading The Mom Test. "Would you pay for xxx"-type of questions do not really provide a lot of good information for you to validate your ideas unfortunately.
Trying to validate the idea for this icon design and gauge if it's worth selling or making available for free.
Thanks for the mom test recommendation. Just read a summary of it here https://medium.com/@feelinspired/things-i-learnt-the-mom-test-by-rob-fitzpatrick-9d9d58ce8098 for anyone else interested.
My experience with somewhat complex gradients (which I assume is how you achieve the glow effect) is that they don't work well with SVGs as they don't always convert well and while they might look good in certain software/device/browser but not in others, and the work around never proved very efficient resource-wise, but that's not to say it can't be done :)
Thanks for the reply.
I'm layering feGaussianBlurs at different stdDeviation to achieve the effect.
The SVGs would be converted to PNGs if someone wanted to use them for their iOS home screen.
Most of the website visitors would are iPhone owners and will probably be using modern browsers. But I see what you mean, these SVG filters have not been tested enough on all browsers so compatibility is unknown, even for iOS safari
