Ask HN: Best open source icon SVG pack?

by ethor on 2/9/22, 11:35 AM with 7 comments

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?

I 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://heroicons.dev is pretty neat and easy to use.

None. Do not use font as icons, it's not what they (fonts) are for.
Use `SVG`.
