create sets of icons by industries/topics

Open loginetsolutions opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

I'll propose to you what I have proposed to FontAwesome before. Create sets of icons that are useful for developers, by industries/topics: transportation (trucks, trailers, gas pump etc), accounting (assets, liabilities, bank, money, check, visa, invoice, etc), project management (project, task, tasks, user, employee, deadline, manager, budget etc) I think you get the idea. Organize them like this and you'll find success. Taking individual icon requests will waste your time and make FA unusable

Thank you for your suggestions. Our goal is to make the submission process as easy as possible. And also make this project reproducible and "forkable" quite easily. So if you think you can produce a better arrangement of the icons, I really invite you to try your hands at it with what we have already and submit a pull request. Keep in mind we are trying to achieve maximum compatibility with Font Awesome 4.x.

Now, if you think a completely different icon set needs to be created, it's quite easy to do. You will need to fork this project, change the name of it and only keep in the src/icons/svg folder the icons that you want to keep, plus add new ones. Classification and organization of them is done in the src/icons/_icons.yml file.

Then by running the build scripts, you should have an icon font and documentation generated automatically.

I hope this helps.
