Blade vNext

[jondot]

Hi all!

I've been planning to make Blade more powerful for a long while. Since interest has been growing tremendously for this tool recently, I think that is enough motivation to kick off the next iteration of Blade. I've been requested many times to also have Android support (in addition to updating Blade to recent Apple products), and that is something I plan to have.

You can help!
Please comment below of what features you'd like to have the most.

Hey jondot, thanks for the update, I can confirm: Blade works again very well!

A feature could be cool: scan the Assets.xcasserts file for @3x or @2x resources with missing inferior resolution, and automatically generate those resolutions.

Hey dotan,

This is a really useful tool.

Some ideas :

1. Yes Android
2. Desktop. I have a few crappy golang based packaging tools for desktop that could use an image generator. I can share the code.

I initially created an issue for supporting iMessage app icon formats, but can't say i am still backing it. iMessage apps don't worth supporting anymore imo.

@gedw99 My feeling is that iMessage apps are a dead platform already. Most apps are sticker apps, and they can be maintained by artists really easily. I can't find much reason to include iMessage app icons in CI processes anymore. We just include the previous stickers bundle in new app resulting CI. Never needed to re-generate assets for it in a very long time.

Thanks for the explanation. I see your point.
