Obra Icons: A simple, consistent set of icons, perfect for user interfaces.

Obra Icons

A simple, consistent set of icons, perfect for user interfaces.

![](https://m.stacker.news/96513) **Super high quality** Detailed vectors, consistent to the highest level, with crisp details and consistent rounding. **Multiple weights and sizes** Obra Icons are drawn at 2px stroke weight and in a 24x24 frame, and have been designed to work at 3 different stroke weights (1, 1.5 and 2px). Since the icons are vector-based and use specific line and vector dot drawing techniques, they also upscale easily to different sizes like 32 and 48px. This makes it easy to use the same icon set for different use cases - from icons in buttons to illustrative purposes. **Over 1000 icons** The icon set contains many icons, so you won’t run into the situation where you can’t find the right icon for your needs. We selected the essential icons for UI design evaluated against tons of real-life UI design projects, and are continuously growing the set. **Easy to use** Download an icon from the website, buy the files for use in a design app or integrate in your [Svelte](https://www.npmjs.com/package/obra-icons-svelte) or [React project](https://www.npmjs.com/package/obra-icons-react) using the npm packages.

# Stay hungry, stay foolish. Marking the 20th anniversary of Steve’s Stanford address To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Steve’s commencement address at Stanford, we are sharing a newly enhanced version of the video below and on YouTube. It is one of the most influential commencement addresses in history, watched over 120 million times, and reproduced in media and school curricula around the world. The talk even helped inspire an unlikely NBA title comeback for the Cleveland Cavaliers when LeBron James played a clip from it in the locker room before a critical game three against the Golden State Warriors in 2016. The most relevant quotes: > _"You will gradually become the old and be cleared away.”_ > _“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”_ > _“People sometimes forget that they are very unique and that they have very unique feelings and perspectives. The whole computer industry wants to forget about the humanist side.”_ > _“stay hungry, stay foolish”_ In the weeks leading up to commencement, Steve emailed himself speech ideas: ![](https://m.stacker.news/96511)
