Trying my hand at making icons by coding directly in SVG. Advantages:
- Vector graphics, so scales well, no messy pixels mashing or stretching.
- Concise, no extra stuff thrown in by graphics tools (Inkscape for example). So far these are all less than 1k!
- Easy to read and tweak (edited and indented in Visual Studio Code with an SVG extension).
- A way to learn SVG (and avoid learning more graphics editing tools).
- And it's nice to have your own graphics IP, no need to worry about licensing and attribution, and if someone pirates it, they pirated you.
