New Icon Library is Free and Easy to Use

A website designer wanted to share a project they recently made. It is a CSS project featuring a minimalist icon library designed by code. It includes 500 customizable icons that are retina-ready. It is entirely built in CSS. No JavaScript is used on the site. Even the icon selection tool and cookies are set inline with CSS coding. The designer noted that it offers easy integration, including functions for embed, NPM and API. It is open-source and available for free at no cost to any designer. This person wanted to know if it would be helpful to others in the design community and if anyone had feedback for them.

One person replied and said that it was well-planned. Another person added that they appreciated the fact that each file can be imported separately, which is in line with the designer's intent for minimalism. This person went on to say that the small file size is also helpful for downloads. A different person liked the phrase "maximum minimalism" that several of the commentators used when describing the site.

Another person commented about the site's aesthetics, and many others agreed that it was well-laid out. A few people had some questions about the site and icons. In particular, one person asked why icons would be made with CSS instead of SVG. The original poster replied with a list of reasons that included cleaner markup and the ability to compile easily with the rest of the code. They also stated reasons including faster page load, easy animations, easy customization, options for resizing and ease of color rendering.

Someone else inquired about if these icons could be used in Sketch or Figma. The original poster replied that they are working on this, and it would take them about a month to have something ready. A different person was going to ask about the small icon sizes, but then they noticed that the original poster had options for the icon sizing. Those options ranged from small to extra-large. The person also noted that the clear all button did not seem to work as a pop-up. For more information click here https://www.reddit.com/r/web_design/comments/falkhg/cssgg_500_css_icons/.
