Aren't icons already typically SVG?

These are great icons for those that don't want to import font awesome or another library! Thank you for making these!

How does this compare to Iconify - https://icon-sets.iconify.design ?

Why bother? Isn't it better just to donate these icons to Fontawesome?

Check out the IcoMoon icons, they don't have the fuzzyness like fontawsome icons for example...

My fav icons library. The designer is legend

About page says it uses iconify.design, that's why it matches the same 150.000 icons
