Show HN: MynaUI Icons – 1180 Beautifully Crafted Open Source Icons
- mjomaa 2y agoI like that there is also a solid option. Makes it easy to show a selected menu item state.
- praveenjuge 2y agoThanks, exactly my thoughts too!
- lovegrenoble 2y agoSo clean, thank you
- praveenjuge 2y agoGlad you like it!
- subhashp 2y agoBeautiful!
- praveenjuge 2y agoThanks!
- theshrike79 2y agoWhat does "Open Source" do for graphical assets like icons? I'm more interested in the license, how can I use them, are you using a Creative Commons derivative or a custom license? https://mynaui.com/legal https://mynaui.com/legal > You are prohibited from the following uses: > - Distributing or publishing the Item or its assets online. > - Placing Item design files into an End Product as-is. So can I put these on a web page or not? How about an executable application?
- praveenjuge 2y agoThe mynaui.com/legal is for a separate product, not the Icons. MynaUI Icons is MIT Licensed: https://github.com/praveenjuge/mynaui-icons/blob/main/LICENSE https://github.com/praveenjuge/mynaui-icons/blob/main/LICENS... I will fix this miscommunication shortly!

- jiehong 2y agoDo open source licences apply to SVGs? They are technically icon written in code. I may be a bit naive, as it just occurred to me.
- freetonik 2y agoInteresting question. I mean, one can claim that .png files are also written in code?..
- echoangle 2y agoA png is about as much code as a compiled binary. They aren’t code, they might be the result of some code being compiled, but open source licenses normally define the source as the format most useful for editing, which probably is the input that a png icon is generated from, not the png itself.
- freetonik 2y agoOK sure, bad example. A Photoshop .psd file then.
- alfredgg 2y agoI am not entirely familiar with the .psd format. However, a rule of thumb is that if you can open an image file in a text editor, see readable code, and modifying the code affects the image, then the image is definitely written in code.
- asah 2y agoMy challenge with icon sets, is what happens when I need something beyond the set? Maybe try a multi model LLM and give it the examples?
- praveenjuge 2y agoYou can request icons here: https://github.com/praveenjuge/mynaui-icons/issues/new/choose https://github.com/praveenjuge/mynaui-icons/issues/new/choos... But I do wonder if LLM can create SVG icons if we give it some good samples
- dspillett 2y agoWhat do you do without the set? Draw your own, or mash a couple of the existing ones together, in your preferred editor. I keep thinking of making my own set of icons that are composable. I see a lot of sets where there are individual icons for “folder”, “folder with +”, “folder with -”, “folder with gear”, and so on, sometimes both with the added in internal space or an overlay to the bottom right, with each being separately designed. It strikes me that defining folder, +, -, <gar>, … then being able to ask for folder-with-gear-inside or <anything>-with-small-<anything>-overlaying-bottom-right. You wouldn't want it all don dynamically of course, so some heavy caching or compiling to a sprite-set would be needed for efficiency.
- jaustin 2y agoThese look really nice, thanks for sharing. Out of curiosity, were you setting out to create something new for stylistic reasons? Or licensing? For the fun of it? From a distance I'm trying to distinguish this from something like remix icons https://remixicon.com https://remixicon.com Do you plan to keep adding more icons? How will these relate to the MynaUI Pro plan in the long run?
- praveenjuge 2y agoThanks! Glad you like it! A few years ago, I started learning icon design and began a private collection, which eventually turned into this. I build a lot of websites and design custom icons for them, so having my own icon pack seemed to make the most sense. Yes, I plan to make more icons, already have dozens in the backlog. This icon pack complements MynaUI Pro itself. As I add more components to it, I'll include more relevant icons here.
- HexDecOctBin 2y agoYou are prohibited from the following uses: - Creating competing templates, UI kits, libraries, frameworks, or similar products using the Item. This is really strange. Who would use icon sets if not GUI libraries? Is it some web-ism that desktop app developers are too old fashioned to understand?
- onion2k 2y agoI imagine this means you can use individual icons in your app as you see fit, but you can't just embed the whole lot in a competing UI library.
- praveenjuge 2y agoSorry for the confusion, that License is for mynaui.com which is a set of UI components. MynaUI Icons is MIT Licensed: https://github.com/praveenjuge/mynaui-icons/blob/main/LICENSE https://github.com/praveenjuge/mynaui-icons/blob/main/LICENS...
- HexDecOctBin 2y agoI see, thanks. I am working on a GUI library for 3D content, might use these since they look easily to convert to an SDF for quick scaling.
- praveenjuge 2y agoGreat, let me know if you have any icon requests!
- tigerlily 2y agoHmm, could do with a brand-mastodon, and hey as I think about it why not a brand-hn? (Is hn even a brand? Idk... there's the Y logo?)
- praveenjuge 2y agoAdded to the backlog!
- arketyp 2y agoI may be old school but to me calling your own work beautiful comes across as pompous. Or "beautiful" is somehow a style now which irritates me as well. Sorry. They do look nice though.
- praveenjuge 2y agoI didn't even think like that, I'll rethink about the wording more. Glad you like it though.
- 13hunteo 2y agoYou have to back your own product, and people will notice if you don't. Consider the alternatives: the most popular icon set is called Font Awesome
- IWeldMelons 2y agoLooks similar to KDE icons. Minimalistic should scale very well.
- praveenjuge 2y agoGlad you like it!
- creativenolo 2y agoI’d love it if the browser had the ability to suggest similar icons. I used an internal library that had this and it was super useful and often led to a better visual to express an idea.
- onefiveone 2y agoopen up devtools, scroll to the bottom of the page and... 1229 requests 2.8 MB transferred
- praveenjuge 2y agoThanks for letting me know, looks like NextJS is prefetching all the icon pages, will turn it off!
- praveenjuge 2y agoFixed it, there shouldn't be that much requests now!
- freetonik 2y agoVery nice, thank you. Having an option to quickly get SVG is fantastic.
- praveenjuge 2y agoGlad you like it!

- wvbdmp 2y agoVery nice, thank you! I see you have a checked bell icon, which I was missing from my usual go-to https://phosphoricons.com https://phosphoricons.com the other day. Definitely want to try these! Might I suggest giving the icons some more breathing room? Phosphor shows 7 icons per row with a lot more whitespace. Your longer rows (12 icons) seem a bit hard to scan.
- praveenjuge 2y agoGlad you like it! Phosphor Icons is my fav too! Will reduce the icons grid to make it easier to scan, thanks for the idea!
- willguest 2y agoReally nice collection. I will definitely have use for these. I like that they walk the line between square and bubbly
- praveenjuge 2y agoThanks, that's exactly my thoughts too while designing!
