Full stack open source dev from Estonia, author of Iconify. https://github.com/cyberalien/ https://github.com/iconify/https://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.devhttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3mkq4vc5r5k25Fun fact: NPM has limit on how many packages you can publish consequently! Ran a script to update packages for over 200 icon sets for 4 frameworks (adding new feature), so 800+ packages. NPM started timing out after about 500 packages. Had to wait for about an hour before I could publish again.30 Apr 2026 17:22 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkq4vc5r5k25https://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3mkpvsqxifc2jThere are many excellent icons with multiple colors, but hardcoded palette makes them hard to use. Now, when using Iconify icon packages, you can customise colors, opacity and stroke-width of icons using CSS variables!

That was a huge mistake. UX got a lot worse. I tried fixing it, but it is unfixable. So I'm reverting back to good old pagination.

This fixes server side rendering and generation, so now components work as expected on server and in browser.

My repo just did, over 4000 issues of spam. GitHub was fast to clean it up, only several issues remained for me to delete when I got home, but my poor mailbox is dealing with 4000+ email notifications...25 Mar 2026 14:39 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhvcxzf4wc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3mgfpw2lyv22wIn addition to pre-made SVG+CSS components for Vue, Svelte and React, now there are components for SolidJS! Very easy to use. Almost 300k open source icons! SVG+CSS minifies SVG by moving all props to CSS, way better than SVG sprites!

These are security updates for SVGO. As far as I can see, chances of exploit are close to 0 (must use untrusted SVG) and it is harmless (it will just freeze or crash), it is still worth updating.05 Mar 2026 05:34 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgc37nkqgk2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3mgatppqgx22eIconify now offers pre-made SVG+CSS components for React. Usage: 1. Install one of "@iconify-react/" packages 2. Import icon from that package. SVG+CSS minifies SVG by moving all props to CSS, much better than SVG sprites!

Be aware that SVG+CSS cannot be used in production yet, still waiting for Safari to support "d" attribute in CSS. https://cyberalien.dev/svg-to-css/03 Mar 2026 13:37 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg5vb5dgsk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3mg573wtrlc2dIconify offers pre-made components for Vue and Svelte that render icons as SVG + CSS: "@iconify-vue/{prefix}" and "@iconify-svelte/{prefix}". SVGs are small, better than SVG sprites! Update for `line-md` icon set: it now uses CSS animations. That means HTML for animated icons is very small.03 Mar 2026 07:00 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg573wtrlc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3mg55ofvelk2b"Material Line Icons" now includes animated icons in multiple formats: - SVG animations - CSS animations - SVGs for each frame at 120 fps Repo: https://github.com/cyberalien/line-md Long article: https://cyberalien.dev/articles/generating-animated-icons/ Also a new icon set is coming soon, with around 5k animated icons so far.03 Mar 2026 06:35 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg55ofvelk2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3menjhgj66k2dSafari 26.3 is here... and it is yet another disappointing release. Still no full support for `path()` in CSS. Other browsers have supported this for years. Safari Technology Preview has supported this since 2024. What does this mean? No animations for SVG paths with CSS yet because of 1 browser.12 Feb 2026 07:58 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3menjhgj66k2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3m7a4okfj222jAnother Cloudflare outage? I'm receiving cloudflare error "500 Internal Server Error" for many websites right now. Not as bad as outage few weeks ago, but still many websites are down.05 Dec 2025 08:59 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7a4okfj222jhttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3m6qu26oht22yJust noticed that Cloudflare has a new option (new to me, might have been there for a while) to block AI bots. Enabled on all websites.

Special thanks to @benmccann.com for helping!28 Nov 2025 14:19 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6p3dlf5l22shttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3m6mvdicvpc2fPublished new major version of Iconify Tools. Changes: - Dropped CommonJS support - Massively reduced number of dependencies - New small XML parser Migration should be seamless, almost everything is the same. https://iconify.design/news/2025.html#tools-527 Nov 2025 17:27 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6mvdicvpc2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3m6lwkmaxg22iIconify icon sets are updated from multiple sources, but mostly from Git repositories and Figma documents. Unfortunately, updating from Figma documents is no longer possible. Figma has introduced heavy rate limiting for API queries, making it impossible to retrieve document with many SVGs from API27 Nov 2025 08:16 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6lwkmaxg22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3m62knlyax22vIconify Unplugin now supports multiple ways of rendering CSS for icons: - Import CSS files - CSS modules - Embed CSS in SVG Importing CSS files is default - it reduces duplication and keeps small class names. CSS modules is one of options for using plugin with Next https://github.com/iconify/iconify-unplugin20 Nov 2025 10:28 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3m62knlyax22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3m62erhdy2224Update to Iconify Unplugin: added option to render full SVG instead of SVG+CSS. Why would you want that? - To support legacy browsers if fallback icon is not available. - Next.js - it doesn't allow css files outside of App.tsx, which sucks. Result is similar to using Unplugin Icons20 Nov 2025 08:42 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3m62erhdy2224https://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3m5y4e6xl4k26Yesterday during Cloudflare outage, all Iconify servers were down, including API. What steps will I take to fix that? None. Why? See https://cyberalien.dev/articles/cloudflare-downtime-iconify/ Lesson: don't rely on third party services. Host everything yourself. Iconify has many tools for bundling icons, use them.19 Nov 2025 11:06 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5y4e6xl4k26https://bsky.app/profile/cyberalien.dev/post/3m5vlcwph5c2eAnnouncing new way of rendering icons: Iconify Unplugin. This is heavily inspired by Unplugin Icons, but with one big difference: icons are rendered as SVG + CSS. GitHub repo: https://github.com/iconify/iconify-unplugin Currently it supports components for: Vue, Svelte, React, Preact. This is an alpha release.18 Nov 2025 10:56 +0000at://did:plc:b7shemivl3jt2prmrgqybu2o/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5vlcwph5c2e
