If you are making software, I implore you to do a quick and simple test if you plan on using icons: show them to some users and ask if they would know what they mean. There is a significant chance the icons are meaningless. Yes, context helps, yes, merely communicating difference helps, but, for the most part, nobody knows what any of these things mean.
From the ecosystem-independent ones I use and highly recommend
- `vscode-file-nesting-config` for decluttering your project folder
- `ni` to not care which of npm alternative project uses
- `eslint config` that has fine defaults for basically every framework (do note that it uses his eslint-style rather then prettier by default), which has TS JSDoc and autocompletion for rules and hides fixable rules in VSCode by default
- `taze` to check deps for updates. May be less good then pm-specific ones but works for every pm.
- `unocss` which is Tailwind clone you can actually understand - it works on regexes. Or can't because it allows to set tw classes in attributes and group them in weird ways.
- Vitesse theme is fine

Checkout slidevjs, that may also look shallow to you. The eco-system is very open. It will never be as C++ or Rust. I believe everyone is happy where they are.
Has anyone come across a semantic search to navigate these icon libraries? I want to be able to search for “Industry” and get icons returned that show factory, cogs etc. I’ve been using https://react-icons.github.io/react-icons but the same problem there, you search for a string and it just greps across the official icon name. If you don’t know the name you’re not going to find it.
In French it's used to mark where an o was followed by an s in Latin, but that's not the case here. Icon comes from Greek word that never had an S.
Wiktionary reports an Esperanto iĉon, which means "male".
Perhaps this means something in some other language? Or is it a metal umlaut?

I love this.
pâté = paste
forêt = forest
fête = fest
île = isle
hâte = haste
The HN title is, however, a bit confusing/misleading, especially at the end with 'NES' as it has a special meaning/feeling when read in the context of HN. At first, I though this was a project showing a remake of some icons from the Nintendo Entertainment System. Also, the word Icône (with 'e' at the end and accent circonflexe on letter 'o') is the French translation of icon.
If I search for, say, "stop", I get a list of collections which allegedly have a stop icon but I need to check them individually
