Tools for web development Part — 1

Icons

Fontawesome.com

This is a great library of free icons, it has more than 7000 icons. As a point against, I would say that it is one of the most used, therefore there are many websites with its icons, it is almost a standard in some niches.

Ionicons.io

I will not hesitate to say that it is one of my favorites, due to the simplicity of its icons that goes with one of my favorite trends, minimalism.

Material icons

It should be mentioned, created by the giant google, it is ideal if you plan to use ui material such as css library or if you want to design an app for android.

This is a little hidden gem, if you are interested in making cool designs with a cartoon look, this library is essential.

Linearicons.com

Another of my favorites and it’s no surprise, it’s pure minimalism.
