What is the business model behind this?

The GitHub account links to this site:

https://tabler.io

Which looks like a typical sales page. But it also says "free" everywhere. No info on pricing or business model.

The icons page tays to install the icons like this:

    npm install tabler-icons --save
Does this make you vurnurable to code coming downstream from this repo in the future?

Maybe they'll introduce something paid later:

- paid support

- paid premium components

- etc

I also see they are already selling email tenplates here: https://gumroad.com/l/tabler-email?utm_source=demo

I'm also very actively looking for a catch whenever I see something like this but this seems entirely benign as far as I can see.

Edit: there's also a pay-what-you-want page when you click download. Still totally ok with me.

Neat! I tried my luck with unicode symbols once because they scale nicely as well, but many browsers just desecrate them.

⏪ ⏩ are two examples, while these ► are pretty plain. Not that I don't like the specific designs, but the customization destroys any chance of their use if you want to keep consistent looks. In chrome they are on a blue background. I think other browsers might display them differently. Would be cool to have a neutral design that could be adjusted by font color.

But anyway, thank you for your work!

Great icons, thanks! Very similar in style to https://feathericons.com/

True, but great design looks alike right? https://evil-icons.io/ https://css.gg/ https://ikonate.com/ https://boxicons.com/

There seems to be a connection though. This project tabler/tabler-icons is part of Tabler, which features FeatherIcons: https://preview.tabler.io/icons.html.

Not saying there's anything wrong here, for all I know it might be the same author on both projects. Taking a closer look, it might even be the case that tabler-icons is just a rebranding of FeatherIcons.
