fix the title maybe? "MIT License" is not the same thing as "MIT Licensed". MIT did not license these.
Suggested, "High-quality SVG icons with MIT License"

I may just be old and bitter but I've never found emojis to actually help in commentary and are actively distracting when people already have established norms in communicating in a particular language as to my eyes it becomes adding a second language where there was already one. There's no rock solid definition for any emoji that has been normalized with a universally accepted dictionary especially when it is interm…

I think it falls under the "this is not reddit" mantra which I am okay with. I rather see the type of discourse we have on here than just 1 word / 1 emoji responses.
I agree, although I think there's some room between not having any emoji and being flooded with low-quality emoji comments.

> For a discussion forum like HN I'd say that emojis are generally harmful to making sure that the conversations last longer than the moment they were written in case it becomes useful tomorrow.
I just had a horrible nightmare vision of having to debug a code repository entirely commented with emojis...
But I agree with you, words work fine and, especially as full sentences, are less ambiguous than cutesy symbols.

> Does this make you vulnerable to code coming downstream from this repo in the future? The command is a standard way to install a module and save that specific version in package.json. By default I believe it's "^x.x.x", which allows patch versions that increment the last number when explicitly updating - otherwise re/install will always get that specific version. It's no less (or more) secure than any other depende…
can probably be considered low risk How so? I would think it puts its files in a publicly accessible path. That means if it puts executable code there (python,php,js whatever) in a future release it allows for a server-takeover.
You're right, I had doubts while writing that.
Aside from pre/postinstall scripts, I imagine the SVG and/or CSS files gets copied into a folder of static assets.
Depending on how that's done - manual import or part of a build step; specifying file extensions or not; how assets are served, etc. - that could be "vulnerable to code coming downstream".

#47Great 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/
What I really like about these collections is, that half the icons are not just company logos.
