3) self hosting a couple of icons is a matter of 15-30min - make a request to the kit, store assets, commit, push, deploy demo, test, deploy prod, done. But not if the kit is not accessible anymore - even though advertised as such.
4) I agree it has been a mistake to ever rely on a 3rd party to host icons. From todays POV, it’s ridiculous I’ve ever made that lazy decision.

When I’m bootstrapping, I tend to value my time at my normal consulting rate, since that’s what we’re ultimately comparing to. If I wasn’t putting this hour into the client on a work day, I’d be billing it to a client, so that’s the opportunity cost in my head. But yeah, that certainly changes the math a bit. My reply above was in the more normal context of a salaried engineer deciding to save the company £10/month by spending £15,000 in billable hours building an alternative.
