I know it's not good form to create thank-you issues, but the traffic here wasn't exactly overwhelming, so I thought it was okay.

I just wanted you to know that everything about this project is top notch. You've made some beautiful icons and a very nice website (the copy functionality is great). You even have CDN links and a Figma project.

Thank you !

Thank you very much @tipsy!

Happy to see that these icons are getting used more and more in other people projects. I am planning to invest some more time into pixelarticons to create new icons and new styles.

It would be nice if there was a way to contribute icons :)

halfmage commented 2 years ago

You can send or list any wanted icons as an issue, or send your own creations as screenshots in here. For now, I still want to be responsible for the quality check and review process.

But for the future it could be:

Create a guide for SVG icon contribution (code guidelines)
Create a placeholder Figma file where people can create new icons and send them for review.

Yes, I think this should always be the case. I was thinking more along the line of guidelines. From looking at the icons, these appear to be the rules:

There are a few exceptions that don't have margins, but most seem to conform to this. With such a small canvas and such a rigid line width, I think some judement calls must be made.

I'd be happy to put together a guideline based on the current icon set if you're interested.

I could program an icon editor for this, that actually sounds kind of fun.

I like this very much!

That's totally true. Since we have very limited space with a 2px stroke-width, sometimes it is just not possible to stay inside the canvas area. I think it would make sense to prepare guidelines for different icon shapes, since this appear in different sizes for the human eye. For example: square, rectangle, circle

As I said: I will have soon more time to get back to Pixelarticons. A documentation would make sense to put on a To-Do List.

Just wanted to stop in and say thanks for this library. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Used it last night to modify most of my Docusaurus searchbar
