I’ve created a library of beautiful rounded icons and would like to share it with the Hacker News community. Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Features:

- Beautifully rounded style - Over 3,800 icons - Editable stroke - Regularly adding new icons - Another standard version (less rounded) coming soon - Easy installation via npm or yarn

These look great. I'm a bit ignorant on the topic - what makes an icon a 'Reach Icon'? Can these only be used in React apps? Am I missing something fundamental?

Hey, did you make these all by hand? I’m curious and impressed.

What makes these icons particularly “huge”?

Shout out to Iconify, it consolidates many icon sets into compatible SVGs.

Yes, drew them in Figma. You can see some of the drawing processes here: https://twitter.com/huge_icons

Yes, Iconify is indeed a great resource. We really appreciate their work in consolidating various icon sets into compatible SVGs. It's incredibly helpful!

Just a name, but also, we have a huge number of icons and we're adding more regularly. Currently, we have a total of over 27,000 icons, and more than 8,000 icons are under creation. We've made all stroke icons completely free.

Thanks for your interest!

To clarify, these icons can be used in any interface.

The term 'React Icons' refers to the specific React package we've created to make it easy for developers to integrate these icons into React and React Native applications.

However, you can absolutely use these icons in other ways as well.

They are available through a Figma plugin, WordPress, and directly in HTML-CSS via SVG.

Compatible with any framework.

I hope this clears up any confusion!
