Wow, that makes a ton of sense, definitely cleaner than what I've got going now. There are plenty of places to clean it up, but that would be a big one.

Thanks!

True, may just be a neat hack. The opportunity to work with individual elements of an icon independently and the challenge of the constraints was the initial draw to the project. Maybe there would be a use case for the simple icons and icons that would really benefit from coloring individual elements (hence the flags), but I think there are definitely plenty of drawbacks and it's pretty hacky in some places.

I also don't have a great understanding of some of the technical drawbacks and compatibility issues that have been brought up here, so this HN conversation has been an enormous help.

I think you've hit on my main question. Thanks for the feedback and for taking a look!

Definitely good for working on a few weird CSS oddities and helped me get better acquainted with GitHub and Bower. I figured being able to work with individual elements within the icon might be a plus over icon fonts, but definitely not as reliable. Otherwise, I also couldn't come up with much over SVG either. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks very much! I had no idea at all, I'll definitely look into it. Great to hear there's another positive for the project.

I'll take a look back at the email and download icons, good eye.

Yeah there are three currency icons that change a lot between browsers because part of the icon is a character. Definitely doesn't really work. Having trouble finding a way to create the central shape with the 3 available elements. May need to scratch them until I can.

Thanks for taking a look at it!

Thanks! I've tested "stopped" states and have it on my ToDo list, but need to just take a moment and get it done.

True, thanks for catching that! I'll fix it up.

For sure, thanks for taking a look! And good eye on the French flag! I'll get that fixed up.

I'll make sure to add license info to that demo/download page. Thanks again, a huge help!

True, a great point. It's not a bad creative outlet.

Thanks for taking a look!

Thanks! I agree might be interesting to try to capitalize further on animating/coloring individual elements and work on scalability. Just trying to gauge how much time to invest.

The feedback is a huge help!

Thanks very much, feels good to hear they hold up!
