Your giving this for free reminds me of the biggest problem Freelance artists/developers have : if one's a dev at heart, it's creating that fuels one's achievements. It's the fact that people are using the results. Problem is : how do I keep creating if I can't make a living out of it ?
And it's a hard one. I read so many headlines on HN which revolve around "launch a startup!", but never really do more than read them because of one single fact : i'm bloody not, and never will be interested by selling anything, be it cakes, code or my secondhand ipad.
I totally suck at marketing cause I totally hate practicing this art (of which i do not doubt the usefulness).
It's taken me 40 years to realize that : 1) i'm not interested in sales/marketing 2) doing it takes me down a path of depression every single time i try and i'm better of doing other things like building my own house (took me 3 years) or working in mechanics (repairing engines) 3) most important : there's no shame in not caring about marketing/sales and (therefore) sucking at it.
I had the opportunity to team with a guy who excels at marketing, and am able to code for a living full time while still living in a small village on a secluded island with a good internet connection. I truly hope you'll meet one of these ! Cause your work is insanely good.

Yes HN is slowly becoming Reddit, and all we can do is flag posts. But they just keep coming!
I'm usually first in line to disagree with the way people bring in The Holy Guidelines ( http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ), but this one is good: > If your account is less than a year old, please don't submit comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. (It's a common semi-noob illusion.)
What's next, I can't make an observation about programming, because my account is not "senior" enough?
I've been here for years, and your logic is broken.

I didn't know account = person. Also, I could have been just a reader. What's next, I can't make an observation about programming, because my account is not "senior" enough? I've been here for years, and your logic is broken.

This will probably make me seem ungrateful but to me that bundle seems to be quantity over quality. Don't get me wrong - there's some nice stuff in there but there's also a high proportion of cruft (geocities phoned and want their graphics back).
I hope the creator of the icons is not upset by my forwardness, but I've converted these icons to bootstrap style icons for easy use. Visit https://github.com/chrismarlow9/Batch-Bootstrap-Plugin for the project. It allows you to add the icons with pure CSS style (using rowXcolumn) class name. The CSS file isn't exactly small but I did this for the purposes of people making friendly names for icons and expanding on th…
I'll get the size down later, but perfect for development.
