It took almost exactly 1 hour to make each icon. 12*365*24/104600 = ~1.005 (1 hour and ~18 seconds)

Love that you did the math. This is the kind of content I come to HN for.

Although, I'd do it differently since I didn't work for 24 hours a day. I'll also account for our open-source illustration and emoji sets.

So, (12 years * 12 months * 4 weeks * 40 hour work week )/(104600 icons + 2322 emoji + 24863 illustrations).

Streamline now has a team of 15 people so I'm not the only one doing it all by myself :)

Are we looking at the same website? There's a big green button at the bottom of the page that takes you to a pricing page with three pricing tiers and the price in USD.

There‘s nothing on mobile.

Ah OK, well OP is in the thread somewhere so maybe they'll take note and update it on mobile.

I love these icons, great work. I also found the licensing confusing. You say it's under CC 4.0 but don't specify. When digging deeper it appears you mean CC BY 4.0, but then you link to another page that places specific restrictions on the type of attribution, which CC BY does not do. What's more, some of these restrictions are onerous, e.g., requiring attribution in an image's text description or requiring a link t…

Oops, the HN audience really likes icons.

"Have no reasonable and reliable way to determine what they mean."

Except for wide practice? How many people who work with mobile phones cannot really determine what the icon for Wi-Fi means?

"So, just suggesting that the Roman alphabet was a step forward from icons and returning to icons is a step backwards."

Backward and forward with respect to what? Writing language down in an alphabet is more precise, but only other speakers of the same languge will be able to communicate with you. Symbolic writing is less precise, but more intelligible to people who do not speak your language.

Would China hold together if they didn't have a common symbolic writing system? The languages (or dialects) spoken in the country are very different from one another.
