Show HN: Open-core icon sets that took me 12 years to create

#1
Hi HN,

Vincent here, maker of Streamline 4.0. I spent the past 12 years perfecting icons and making the largest sets on the internet.

The 5 open-source sets are:

1. User Interface Icon Set (1,000 icons)

2. Streamline Flex (500 icons)

3. Streamline Flat (500 icons)

4. Covid Icons (147 icons)

5. Nasty Icons (45 icons)

I find great that it is a paid asset, specially seeing such a huge library of icons. However why a subscription model? For this price I guess only mid large studios can afford them, and they may compare it to other asset libraries like the ones from adobe, etc.

Also it is not clear to me what is the license, if I create a product for a customer and I stop the subscription I guess this product can still use the icons I put them there.

Anyway, congratulations for the product, I bookmark it.

1. Subscription: Moving to a subscription was a hard decision and we thought about it for 2 years, but it allowed us to focus on producing more content and improving workflow features like a figma plugin, global color editor, CSS color editor etc. I wrote all about it in a Medium post.

2. Thanks for letting me know that the licensing isn't as clear. You're absolutely right in assuming that your customers can continue using the icons even if you cancel the subscription.

Congrats, 12 years is a long time. Hope you don't need to start over seeing as there are diskette and even tape icons that might cause millenials and up to scratch heads. But then it looks you're enjoying finding new graphic representations for UI concepts ;)
