Ask HN: Best open source icon SVG pack?
Out of habit I have been using Font awesome for quite some time now, but since Font Awesome seemingly has pivoted into a SaaS product, what open source icon SVG packs do you use for your project?

- scim-knox-twox 5y agoNone. Do not use font as icons, it's not what they (fonts) are for. Use `SVG`.
- ethor 5y agoFixed, and updated the title.
- scim-knox-twox 5y agoThanks :) I can't recommend any SVG pack because I don't use one. But, it is important to use the tools for their intended purpose. For example, this is how Slack and Google looks without webfonts: - https://paste.pics/FY9VR https://paste.pics/FY9VR - https://paste.pics/FY9Y6 https://paste.pics/FY9Y6 It's unusable, I block sites like this.
- xvello 5y agoI am currently moving from fontawesome to bootstrap-icons, as it is slowly but surely catching up and fully MIT licensed. For comparison: - Fontawesome 5.15: 1608 free icons (out of 7864 total) - Fontawesome 6.0: 1748 free icons (out of 14865 total!) - Bootstrap Icons 1.8: 1683 free icons → https://icons.getbootstrap.com/ https://icons.getbootstrap.com/
