Nice competitor to The Noun Project. Different business model, but nice to see a well-designed competitor.

@chrismessina seems like a much more open alternative to Iconic, with the variety of Noun Project. Iconic seems to focus solely on the one icon set, where Glyphs Co. is providing lots of scalable, customizable icon sets. Great work, @masonhipp.

@chuise @chrismessina Thanks Chris & Kevin, we're definitely trying to provide some variety out there. Even past icons, we'd like to grow to be a platform for all types of SVG graphics. The possibilities of SVG are enormous but it's just too complicated for most people: our goal is to provide an easier alternative. With lots of style choices.

@chuise yeah, you're right. Iconic is a better comparison!

Just tried to register for the beta (looks amazing!) and got this - Internal Server Error Segment::track() requires userId or anonymousId

@chrisgscott thanks for the heads up, looking into this now. Any more details on which page/circumstances under which this happened?
Chris Scott
@masonhipp yeah, in the PH app on iOS. Just after submitting my name and password.

@chrisgscott ah sounds like something in the PH app didn't like our javascript. Any ad blockers running? Trying to replicate now, I'll let you know when I figure it out. In the meantime it should work in mobile safari or on desktop. My apologies for the trouble!
Chris Scott
@masonhipp no ad blockers. Will try again in Safari, thanks!
Chris Scott
@masonhipp no problems on safari, thanks! Would love to take you up on the offer for early access.

Thanks for the submission guys! Let me know if anyone has questions or wants early-access to try things out. Happy to help the PH community.

This is beautiful! I am in love with the concept and where this is going. I can't wait to use this on a dev project, just to see how it works in practice.

I get an internal service error after beta signup through chrome on mac after adding name and password.

@jinalzz @joost and others. My apologies again for the bug, we finally tracked it down and fixed everything. Shouldn't have any further login issues.

This is going to save me so much time when I have to make presentations! Great product!

Without any icons on the website I can't say very much.

Pros:

Must have contained good icons 3 years ago

Cons:

The website doesn't display any icons, only empty placeholders. Is this site abandoned?
