Lucide[1] is a very active fork of Feather and what I’ve been using for the past few years instead.

Feather is great as are their design guidelines, but it needs way way more icons. Lucide picks up beautifully where it left off.

I wonder why signal-zero and signal-low are the same icon

[azdle]

Looks like it's just an accident: https://github.com/lucide-icons/lucide/pull/428#issuecomment...

beside the fact that an error like this actually made it into a release, should it really take more than six months for such a simple correction?

[junkieradio]

You can't really hold an open source project like this to such a high level of scrutiny, all development was likely done in people's spare time with no compensation.

[jlkuester7]

You must be new here....

But seriously, I 100% agree! No one is paying for these icons. Mistakes happen. The world is not ending if they do not get corrected immediately. We all have a ton of things we are working on and cannot always make our FLOSS side-projects our top priority.

(Though, I will readily admit that this raises some provocative questions about how much "mission critical" projects should rely on open source projects which they have no contract/SLA/affiliation with...)

[bee_rider]

I don't think it really is that provocative -- clearly if you have no relationship with an open source project then they don't owe you anything, and you can't rely on them. So if your project is mission critical, then you either need to start up that relationship or apply internal engineering effort to vetting their code.

Of course I'm sure the second person to touch a computer did something irresponsible with it, so what can you do, right?

[melagonster]

Is this the point? if a company really absolutely rely on an open source/ free softwarem, they have obvious benefits to help develop it.

[lucideer]

Hrmmm... while your comment is intended in good faith, I think it actually does a disservice to open source.

I've seen plenty of terrible quality closed source projects and even some impressive high quality closed source projects that were still imperfect and open to human error.

I don't think we should have lower levels of scrutiny or expectations from open source projects. I do think the gp's criticism was exaggerated and unwarranted for any project, open or closed.

[ohgodplsno]

On the other hand, it also displays the unbelievable entitledness of many, many people in tech, that feel right to not only shit on the work that others have provided for free (when they're probably going to use it in projects that make actual money), but also have the gall to say that the maintainers should fix it faster.

It's open source, you've seen the error and you know how to fix it. Make a pull request yourself.

[eyelidlessness]

They accept bug fix contributions.

If it really bothers you so much, it sounds like it would’ve taken you less time to fix it than to complain all the way over here. I’m pointing this out not because open source is often thankless (it can be), but because this kind of negativity snipe is often demoralizing even for those of us not even maintaining the project.

[prmoustache]

Thanksfully someone did which show also the beauty of the open source, it only took a few minutes for someone to volunteer and provide a correction, which the poster above could have done instead of complaining.

And signal-high is lower than signal.

I guess some discretion is required before using any of those icon fonts. That's really not a point against it.

Anyway, my favorite feature is that the disability guy is in a rush.

That’s actually a thing now: https://blog.logomyway.com/new-handicapped-logo-and-the-hist...

[marcosdumay]

That's interesting.

For me the rushing icon does look better. But I wonder why they didn't make the icon on a more normal position, with the body and arms closer to the resting position. We don't make signage with people running except when we actually want to say that they are going fast; the same should apply here.

> I wonder why they didn't make the icon on a more normal position, with the body and arms closer to the resting position.

The article linked by grandparent says: "the new design pictures a handicapped individual with their head tilted forward, indicating their mobility and that they are in control of where they are going. The new design also pictures the individual with their arms back, once again indicating that they are dynamic and in control of their own mobility."

[marcosdumay]

Yes, but the icon should look like the person is "walking" instead of "running". Even though it is a beautiful icon, the effect is misleading.

If you just reduce the inclination of the body and arms, you get that effect.

Didn't know about Lucide! Thanks for sharing

[Jaydenaus]

Tabler-icons is also a larger set with similar design specs to feather) lucide

[KrishnaShripad]

This looks great! Thanks for the share!
