icon-ops

Getting an icon onto a page is easy. Getting one that themes correctly, carries the right licence, matches the twelve icons beside it, and behaves for a screen reader is where the work actually is.

Helps with

An icon that won't change colour on hover, in dark mode, or when the theme switches — almost always a hardcoded #000 in the file where currentColor should be.

A UI where the icons "look off" without an obvious cause. Usually two icon sets mixed: different grid size, different stroke width, different corner language. Individually fine, together visibly wrong.

Choosing an icon set at the start of a project, when the choice is cheap, rather than after 60 icons are embedded.
