Summary

Every picture of Discover in this repo predated langx/langx#1274, which put paying members above the discovery list in the app. The store listing, the press screens and the postcard all showed a screen the app no longer has. This re-shoots all of them.

119 files:

What Count
2.x/<lang>/{ios,android}/<size>/1.png — Discover, yellow 56
2.x/<lang>/{ios,android}/<size>/7.png — Discover, ink 56
marketing/2.x/screens/discover{,-dark}{,-top}.png 4
design/print/assets/screens/discover.png — the postcard front 1
Two READMEs 2

Rendered from the site's phone components, the same source this set has always been cut from, now that langx/website#168 carries the strip there.

How the 112 store shots were changed

They were not re-laid-out. Re-running the template would have meant re-setting eight languages of type, in two scripts, and matching it against the six shots that are not changing — a lot of risk for a change that is entirely inside the card.

Instead the old card was located on each canvas by template match (it is centred, so width and y were the only unknowns) and the new one drawn in its place behind the same rounded-corner mask. The ground, the headline and the line under it are the same pixels they were in all eight languages. Shots 2–6 and 8 are untouched — confirmed by the diff: exactly 56 × 1.png and 56 × 7.png.

Card geometry came out consistent per canvas family, which is the check that the match found the right thing: ~83.6% of the width on the phone canvases (the README's "84%"), 69% on 5.5", ~52% on the iPad ones, ~62% on the Play tablets.

Notes for the reviewer

  • The re-shoot also picks up what the screen had drifted to since the first one — the search button, the filter count, the language pair under the title. So these four marketing/ files differ from their neighbours by more than the strip. Called out in that README.
  • It also picks up a search-icon fix from the website PR; before it, the magnifier rendered as a filled blob. Worth a look at any shot 1 to confirm it reads as a magnifier now.
  • The strip is fully inside the 1170×2000 window every shot is cut to, which is the point of the re-shoot — that window is what the stores see.
  • Not in this PR: uploading any of this to App Store Connect or Play Console.

…is in the art

The app has shown paying members above the discovery list since langx/langx
#1274. Every picture of Discover in this repo predates that, so the store
listing, the press screens and the postcard all showed a screen the app no
longer has.

Re-rendered from the site's phone components — the same source the set has
always been cut from — now that langx/website carries the strip too.

The 112 store shots were not re-laid-out. The card is the only thing that
changed in them: it was located on each canvas and redrawn, so the ground,
the headline and the support line are the same pixels in all eight languages
and the set still reads as one template. Shots 2-6 and 8 are untouched.

The re-shoot also picks up what the screen had drifted to since the first one
— the search button, the filter count, the language pair under the title.
