I recently shared a link to flaticon.com as a source for free icons. You get them as PNGs and insert them using image
tags instead of icon
. It doesn’t work everywhere, but when and where it does, it can add a nice splash of color.
I thought I’d mention another service that’s essentially the same idea: icons8
Please note that while these icons are free to use, you are obligated to give credit to the designer. I’m not a legal expert, but I think an ATTRIBUTIONS or ICON_CREDITS file in your github repo would cover it.
Enjoy playing around.
