Thanks for the links. I know of icones which uses another service. Really rad, but wanted to go a slightly different way.

Already have IconPark included (http://iconduck.com/sets/iconpark-icon-set). Adding awsicons set now :)

Haha send me an email: onassar@gmail.com I've got a cool, simple UI in mind for the flow, but want to hear more about how you envision the icon class idea working.

Thanks for the notes mrkwse. I try to show copy like the following when trademarks show up:

> Naturally, trademarks apply to any brand icons or logos above. That means that you can use them in practice (for example, linking to the respective service), but that the company likely has limitations on how else they can be used.

I need to do some work to communicate that better :)

Yep; those icons can be used freely, however Trademarks apply. Generally, that means you can use it (for example, link to Duck Duck Go), but you probably couldn't sell it on t-shirts

Do you mean from Noun Project? I wouldn't do that (for a couple reasons). The main one, is that I want to always be able to link back directly to the creator's repo and license. It gets a bit meta when people start collecting icons from other 3rd party sites. As for whether it's allowed, I think it depends on the specific license. For example, some licenses may not allow for redistribution generally, but then may grant a special license to a provider (for example, like Noun Project). So then, you may find yourself violating a license that you didn't even know about.

So the rule is, I'll only include icons that have licenses that specifically allow redistribution and attribution, and I'll almost always link back to the repo. The exception is some sets aren't hosted through GitHub or GitLab, so I'll link back to their respective website.

(see below; didn't reply to the right message)

Yeh it's tricky. They have some pretty amazing icons and services, and probably one of the most reliable APIs I've worked with. And so, that costs $. It is a bummer, but there's always that trade off I suppose.

Hoping Iconduck can fill a bit of a void when it comes to open source contributions. I'll be very consistent with it, adding new icons every week, improving the searching, and the design.

I'm working on that right now. Hoping to have it up later tonight ;)

Yep I know them very well! They're amazing! I wanted to build something that wasn't so much a product, but more so about the open source community and all the icons. They're a fantastic company and product, though!

Yep. I actually ran into that while using Iconduck to find a link & GitHub icon haha. I had to download it, then view source, etc. I need to figure out an updated preview modal UI to accommodate that and PNG downloading, but it should be very doable in the next few days.

Totally. Let me know if you have any feedback or ideas :)

Haha what I like about those icons is they're actually pretty effective at grabbing attention. That retro/throwback thing. Thanks for the link. Now I gotta find out if they're open source ;)

Yep! I already have that functionality done, I just haven't gotten around to building a nice UI/UX for that. On it, though.

Hahahahaha

Yep! Will get that data updated soon. Very much an MVP ;)

Haha that's on the list! Any others you recommend?

Hoping on it. I'm not as familiar with modern approaches to open sourcing the whole platform (I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to development), but in the short term, I'll be open sourcing a ton of data for all the different icon sets, as well as little scripts and plugins I built for Iconduck.

Possibly, yeh.

Tbh, there's a part of me that really doesn't want to try and productize it. I really love the idea of building an icon service that pulls in as many developers/designers as possible. OS has been a huge part of my career, and being able to give back can feel pretty fulfilling on those down-days.

Thanks! The search is powered by Typesense (https://typesense.org), but there's a good chance I'm not running the queries properly. Will look into that, and hope to add instant search soon.

Yep I had those listed, but ran into some performance issues. Will get that worked out (you guessed the right path, btw ;)

If you want, you can join the MailChimp so that I can let you know when that page is back up: https://iconduck.us7.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=66c12f50e51...

Great to hear. I actually wanted to mention that Typesense very-generously is powering our search (https://typesense.org). They've been soooo easy to work with, so def consider them for any search projects.

Regarding flaticon: what about the site do you find annoying? This way I know what to avoid ;)

Yep the recoloring should be available pretty soon, as well as batch downloads :)

Thanks! If you know of any other open source icons let me know :)

Hahaha oh boy: I may have been one of your customers. I had literally hundreds of folders of icons that I also wanted to keep offline incase the site went down. It was such a pain managing them.

Yep that's on my todo for the next major release. Also hoping to let people group together multiple icon sets and download them all at once.

Amazing thanks! Will be adding a few hundred each week (at minimum), so if you want you can mark that it's continually being updated :)

Hi all; I designed a site called Iconduck (https://iconduck.com).

There are so many dope open source icon sets out there. I brought a bunch of them (132 so far) under one roof. I made them searchable (using typesense.org), and list out the license details and link back to the site or GitHub repo.

I'm not much of a designer, and it's just a first stab at the concept. It's been done, but I wanted to also build it API-first, since I know it would be useful to be able to search through them all for developers.

I'm always on the lookout for new icon libraries to include, and plan on making it easier to learn more about the designers themselves. If you have any ideas on icon sets or libraries to include please let me know in the comments :)

I’d recommend the movr app :)

I like the creativity on the play button; haha. Very cute to have the cursor be a play button that swaps whenever hoving over an element that is playable ;)

Oh wow; very interesting. Simple. I like it. The open graph image on Wikipedia is different. Which image are you using for that preview?
