To the Snapseed team, reconsider these design choices

The app is functionally pretty perfect. Kudos to you guys for that! But going from Snapseed 2 to 4, when I first open the app I can't help but feel like I'm now visiting a millennial hipster's photography portfolio's website landing page disguised as a photo editor instead of using a truly professional image manipulation toolkit.

The googly eyes are out of place and the cursive font you used for Snapseed's in-app logo is not it.

Maybe redesign these elements. That's it, really. You have a good thing going with the "leaf" logo, why don't you guys brainstorm a potential theme around that leaf we've all learned to associate with the app? My two cents.

Add support for shooting in RAW with the Snapseed Camera

I'd like to preface this by saying that I am loving the new Snapseed. The 4.0 update is a breath of fresh air. I think I might be obsessed with the new halation effect. Didn't know I was missing out on something like it until now. The editing workflow is not too different from the previous (very old) version of SS and remains top-notch.

The Snapseed Camera, however, could do with some added functionality.

For one, I feel like a RAW-capable editor that provides a camera feature should also give you the option to shoot in RAW (if the smartphone is capable of it, which my Pixel 8 Pro is). JPEGs are just really not it when it comes to quality. I'm not sure if implementing this sort of feature is impossible given the very accessible nature of Snapseed as an app that caters to many different smartphone models and older versions of Android, but I do know that there are third-party camera apps that can shoot in RAW available on the Play Store (Blackmagic Camera being one), so I'd surmise it's not completely out of scope.

Mind you, this is not a feature I deem necessary. I'm content using the Pixel Camera app to shoot in RAW to then export the image into SS. But wouldn't it be cool if an entirely lossless workflow could exist within Snapseed, without ever having to leave the app? From RAW shoot to final export. I think it would be pretty awesome.

Good news: Seems they fixed the backend bug preventing users from removing devices from MS account

It may have well been more than two years since users first started reporting about a backend server bug that prevented the user from removing a linked device because the ID was associated with a Windows installation that was either reinstalled, wiped completely, or the PC simply had its hardware swapped with different components. causing what I suspect was a desynchronization between the MS servers and the either now non-existent copy of Windows or the different hardware configuration associated with the persistent device ID on that particular machine. This bug also prevented the user from adding the device again since the serial number of the device was still technically in use. Extremely frustrating issue, I don't understand why it took so long for Microsoft to solve it, but I'm glad it's fixed. It really seems like MS is finally getting its shit together, now let's keep the ball rolling.

Where can I find the original resolution images of the Artemis II mission?

NASA mostly provides 1920x1280px images of the flyby. Is there an archive of the originals I'm not aware of?

This is getting ridiculous. I don't know what we Android users did to deserve getting sidelined by Google (of all companies), but they clearly just want to bring back the old stereotype of Android being a third-class OS that doesn't get any attention.
