What HN said
What people liked
Icons look good and are consistent across sets.
From 3 comments
What I love about Streamline is consistency. Choose a set and it has enough icons or illustrations to fill a website of any size. At the same time there are numerous sets so you…
cbrwizard on HNHi Vincent. These look great. I really like the soft edges and curves, subtle but not too subtle as to make them look comic-book like. Very nice
deanc on HNThis is really nice looking icon set. material and FA look too generic these days. Thanks for creating this.

Objections
Calling commercial freemium sets open source is misleading.
From 3 comments
I have learned to stay away from open-core icon sets. It seems like they are doing a very nice balancing act where the icons you need later on happen to be in the paid section. I…
xunn0026 on HNWhy is this open-source? Neither is the source of the (free) icons available, nor is the license (CC 4.0) approved by OSI as "open source". Don't get me wrong I am not an…
samuelstros on HNHow is this Open Source? These are proprietary icons being peddled as open source.

Licensing is unclear, especially CC BY versus extra attribution terms.
From 2 comments
I love these icons, great work. I also found the licensing confusing. You say it's under CC 4.0 but don't specify. When digging deeper it appears you mean CC BY 4.0, but then you…
torstenvl on HNCongrats, all these icons and illustrations look great! I have a question, what's the difference for example between "UI Icons Line - Free" and "UI Icons Line - Pro" when using…

Subscription pricing is hard to justify and pricing is hidden behind contact-us.
From 3 comments
I'm not sure about the subscription model. Everything is a subscription these days and I think it's a bad thing because if you've already made the icons then just set a fixed…
po1nter on HNI found this annoying and spammy. It took me almost a dozen clicks to find out where to buy the premium license, and there it says "contact us for a quote" instead of saying what…
throwaway81523 on HNI work a lot with icons, even submitted some of my own design to materialdesignicons set. These sets look nice. However, that's the only good thing about them. Subscription model…

No easy way to download or integrate icons like an npm package.
From 2 comments
Any way to download the whole set? What keeps me using Font Awesome is the npm packages and ease of integration into frontend frameworks. This set it seems you need to download…
wjdp on HNNice design but how do I use your icons? Do I manually have to download every single SVG? You seem to have a collection feature, which requires some mouse acrobatics and a lot of…

torstenvl on HNWhich open source license are they released under?

Provide source files or a repository for the open sets.
From 2 comments
Where is the source code? Where do I open a PR to include a new icon or to fix one?
xunn0026 on HNI assume you didn't write SVGs by hand for 10 years. Publishing open source is like me publishing only the binaries of my tool and thn saying because it's free it's also 'open…

Questions
Does the subscription allow use after cancelling?
From 1 comment
I find great that it is a paid asset, specially seeing such a huge library of icons. However why a subscription model? For this price I guess only mid large studios can afford…

Lovely. Can you share some numbers about revenue? I'm really curious

Icons8
From 1 comment
For anybody just looking for nice icons instead of a open-source discussion i can also recommend https://icons8.com. They are the same freemium model as these
