Yo!
My new website, iconBin.net, is now released. iconBin.net is a brand new site that offers an huge archive filled with web development icons. Our concept is simple; we only links to icons that are free to use without back-links. Icons like these could be really hard to find but with iconBin.net you'll probably not find that as a problem anymore.

url: iconbin.net

What do you think about the site? Please comment!

Best regards,
Calle

neat, i like it. Are you able to put more than 6 per page though?

bjzaba · 05-07-2009, 09:54

iconBin - over 3650 free icons!

bjzaba · 05-07-2009, 09:58

Oh what a cute, wee little site!

Seems like you're modelling it on this

It's pretty, but if you're expanding it, add a search function*, categories, etc so people can find what they want and not have to sift through tens of pages to find what they want.

*not the integrated google search either

I'd make a better landing page, its hard to know there's anything behind those two buttons. At first glance I thought there was only two icon sets (a far cry from 3650). Lo and behold, I click one of them, and a massive list pops up! Make it more obvious that they're category buttons and/or reconsider what you put on you front page to reinforce the idea that there is more to see if you click on... maybe you could have a list of the top ten icons - I don't know.

definitely add some type of search feature and even a "tags" or categories feature so it some how separates the icons

We just made a list with featured icons at the front page where you can see featured, latest, most popular and random icon sets.

DKuntz2 · 09-07-2009, 17:55

some of the icons look stolen...

aLemmer · 09-07-2009, 18:21

The first thing I thought was "Cute!"

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice design, does seem a little compact tho.

You can save some bandwidth and load times by compressing those pngs more.

The attached PNG went from 918 kb to about 716 kb and all I had to do was drop it in ImageOptim.
