Ask HN: Do you use a custom icon font library or a service like Font Awesome?
If you use a custom icon font library, how do you keep it up to date as you add new icons?
- seanwilson 8y agoUse SVG instead? I'm not sure why you'd want to use an icon font anymore.
- ilangorajagopal 8y agoIsn't it easier? All of the required icons are in one place, it requires far lesser number of requests especially if you use a lot of icons in your application. I understand why SVG is better if you use only a few icons or you need multiple colors etc.
- seanwilson 8y agoNumber of requests don't really matter anymore with HTTP2 which also means you only need to include the SVG images you actually use of each page. You can use SVG sprite sheets if you really want them in a single file.
