Great site, I've been using FontAwesome Free for a long time, but there are times when they just don't have what I need. I'm seeing some really nice packs in here where I can pick just a few svgs for example to meet my needs (especially given I write open source software).


With a paid version available I am guessing you need to limit the free one eventually is that right?



Nice. I'm pinning the tab and I'll give it a try.


Awesome, You should give this a try.


Nice, I'll use this in the future. Bookmarked.


Does it offer semantic search of fitting icons?


Is nounproject a competitor?


Yes, we have plan to launch API for this


WOW

Good Job!!!

Can you elaborate on effort amd time to build?


Effort is huge and I'm working on this since 7 month


I have it in bookmarks already, albeit with iconbuddy.app fqdn where it claimed 100k open source icons.

We have a .com domain now and double the icon count, congratulations.


Thanks, yes this week we acquired .com
