Hello,
I'd like to add a link from my personal website to my itch.io profile or projects. It would be nice to be able to get a generated snippet with a variety of links, icons, or text that can be easily copy-pasted into forums, HTML, etc.
For example, for a link to my profile, I could have the following options:
- Itch icon that links to the profile directly
- Itch icon with text ("Find me on itch!") baked in
- Larger format itch icon with just the itch.io brandin
- etc.
I think having these sorts of links served through itch directly would have a number of benefits:
- Prevent users/publisers/etc from needing to host and update their own icons
- Keep branding and styles consistent
- Simplify the process for users, in turn increasing visibility of the project/developer/platform
- Keeps all branding 'up-to-date' immediately instead of users being stuck with old icons
Currently, to do something like this, I would need to:
- Download my desired icon through the press kit (https://itch.io/press-kit)
- Host this icon through my own service (or link to it directly, which is not suggested on the page itself)
- Determine the appropriate link for the page I want
- Write up the HTML/etc. myself, instead of using a 'standard' for everyone
- Constantly check back to ensure that the icon is still up-to-date
I think this would help simplify the process, as well as keep things consistent across all projects.
Thanks!
