vincent-lemoign··on Show HN: Vector icons, but for viral memes
Thanks for your support and questions!

We're thrilled to announce that our Vector Meme set is now open source, under the GNU GPL license. Our goal was always to bring some lighthearted fun - not claim property rights over these cool memes. So it's nice & clear now!

We're also keeping "Pepe the Frog" - even though it was corrupted by use from the Alt-Right, its original intent as a fun cartoon is still widely recognized. Plus, it's used in many non-political memes too!

Thank you for the helping us stay culturally sensitive and mindful. We hadn't known this.

Yay, thanks for the feedback! Streamline's known for its massive, consistent sets so we're absolutely going to add more soon. Even more so because the love we've received from the community is incredible. Would you want to bookmark that page or (if you're feeling lazy) sign up on our newsletter: https://www.streamlinehq.com/newsletter? Thanks again, much appreciated!

vincent-lemoign··on Show HN: Hand-drawn scribbles, arrows and shapes for designers [free]
Hi HN, Vincent here, maker of Streamline 4.0. We've spent the past 12 years perfecting icons and making the largest sets on the internet. This collection is a part of our 'Elements' product line which includes a great variety of scribbles, arrows, and shapes to draw attention to your products.

Please give it a shot! It has an ungated product user experience, which means you'll be able to recolor, resize, and download in any format (svg, pdf, png) without even sharing your email address. Thank you for your support!

there is a search function right up at the top. There's global search and individual set search available. Are you not able to find that?
vincent-lemoign··on Show HN: Open-core icon sets that took me 12 years to create
Thank you. This was a bloodbath.

Good point, I don't think that you can include a new icon or fix one.

Source code is here https://github.com/webalys-hq/streamline-vectors/blob/main/R... and in https://www.figma.com/@05466272_9382_4.

Thank you for the feedback.

vincent-lemoign··on Show HN: Open-core icon sets that took me 12 years to create
Great point, actually source files are available in Figma https://www.figma.com/@05466272_9382_4 as well as github https://github.com/webalys-hq/streamline-vectors/blob/main/R...
vincent-lemoign··on Show HN: Open-core icon sets that took me 12 years to create
Agree, we should add the links on the main site so it's clearer. But, it seems like a step back if you need to use figma file or github to search when you can use our app.

The figma plugin works on my end. I've asked the dev team to look into it but in the meantime can you recheck on your end if the error persists?

vincent-lemoign··on Show HN: Open-core icon sets that took me 12 years to create
We did have an NPM package a few months ago but had to deprecate it. You can search and multi-select the icons you need.

Here's a quick gif on how to do that: https://twitter.com/streamlinehq/status/1488139311128391683

You can multi-select and download too or get it via github/figma.

https://github.com/webalys-hq/streamline-vectors/blob/main/R...

We still recommend using the app just because we keep improving icons frequently.

Would a figma file and a github file help? https://www.figma.com/community/file/1063138616574654762 https://github.com/webalys-hq/streamline-vectors/blob/main/R...
vincent-lemoign··on Show HN: Open-core icon sets that took me 12 years to create
Thanks! Yes, we have a fair usage policy that most people never hit unless you're abusing the platform.
vincent-lemoign··on Show HN: Open-core icon sets that took me 12 years to create
Anyone know how we can change the title though?
vincent-lemoign··on Show HN: Open-core icon sets that took me 12 years to create
We create, refine and improve our icons over time. Some of the open source icons have been improved 4 times over the course of 12 years. Not all sets are open-source.

Figma, github repositories are available. https://www.figma.com/community/file/1063138616574654762 https://github.com/webalys-hq/streamline-vectors/blob/main/R...

We still think they are open-source but totally okay with us having different opinions.

vincent-lemoign··on Show HN: Open-core icon sets that took me 12 years to create
All 7 sets are open-source. They are here to stay :)

You can purchase for 1 month too. No need to subscribe for annual pricing if you don't need icons or illustrations throughout the year.

Our design process is incredibly intensive. https://medium.com/streamline-icons/create-more-beautiful-an...

Which is why a lot of folks choose us over other icon libraries: https://streamlinehq.com/wall-of-love

If you need Purchasing Power Parity, please reach out to hello@streamline.vip.

Only if you need new icons.

Full details here: https://intercom.help/streamlinehq/en/articles/5354366-strea...

We add new icons and sets every week.

Great question! UI Icons Line - Free is licensed under Licensed under the Creative Commons - CC BY 4.0.

UI Icons Line - Pro has more icons than the free counterpart. You can only download low-res PNGs for free, actually. See the part about free license limitations here: https://intercom.help/streamlinehq/en/articles/5354376-strea....

We didn't fully optimize it for mobile but you should be able to see the pricing here https://streamlinehq.com/pricing or by using the desktop mode on mobile. Just tap on the triple dot menu at the top right of the screen and enter the desktop mode.

We had licensed the 5 icon sets, Bangalore and Freemoji sets under the Creative Commons - CC BY 4.0 which lets you use them as you want.

I'll take a look what are the other 6 licenses and make our licensing information clearer. Thank you. I appreicate this.

Other premium icon sets aren't open-source, so using them would require a backlink or a purchase.

Thank you! Freehand, Cyber and Pixel are a few of the really unique styles.

Oh no, I'll get this fixed asap. Those 5 icon sets, Bangalore and Freemoji sets are all licensed under the Creative Commons - CC BY 4.0 which lets you use them as you want.

Love that you did the math. This is the kind of content I come to HN for.

Although, I'd do it differently since I didn't work for 24 hours a day. I'll also account for our open-source illustration and emoji sets.

So, (12 years * 12 months * 4 weeks * 40 hour work week )/(104600 icons + 2322 emoji + 24863 illustrations).

Streamline now has a team of 15 people so I'm not the only one doing it all by myself :)

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.
