The Icon Set

The README lists these by name, which is the right form for the thing you copy into socialIcons and the wrong form for deciding whether they fit your site. A name cannot tell you the stroke weight, the optical size, or how a row of them sits together. So here they are, rendered through the same icon.html the header and the share row call.

UI glyphs

Authored on a 24×24 grid with a 1.75 stroke, round caps, no fill — one hand throughout. They are drawn below at 28px so the stroke reads as a stroke.

• arrow-up
• arrow-right
• arrow-left
• external
• hash
• search
• pencil
• chevron-right
• check
• moon
• sun
• rss
• email
• ai

The ai mark is the odd one and the argued one: a drawing nib above a plotted line, the line dashed because a machine laid it down. It is not a sparkle. A sparkle says magic; this mark has to say tooling, and it is the same mark at both grains — stamped beside a post’s title for a whole sheet, flagged on the change bar for a single passage.

Brand marks

These are official logotypes from Simple Icons (CC0), so they are filled shapes rather than strokes. They cannot be redrawn on the 24×24 stroke grid without misrepresenting somebody’s mark, which is why they switch the stroke off and carry their own fill.

• github
• gitlab
• codeberg
• stackoverflow
• mastodon
• bluesky
• x
• linkedin
• reddit
• ycombinator
• telegram
• whatsapp

One of those has a second name. ycombinator is what a site writes in socialIcons; hackernews is the key the share row uses for the submit target. They resolve to the same logotype:

• ycombinator
• hackernews

What an unknown name does

Nothing silently. A name with no branch falls through to a generic link glyph, so a typo shows up on the page instead of leaving a hole where an icon should be:

• not-an-icon

That is the whole failure mode, and it is why this page exists as a rendered sheet rather than a list: every name above is really drawn here, so one that stops resolving turns into that link glyph in the open.

To add your own, extend _partials/icon.html with another branch and keep the 24×24 grid.
