HackerReposA FIELD GUIDE TO OPEN SOURCE
Many of Grant and Clay's clients wanted to use the fantastic FontAwesome Icon Font, but didn't want to make their users download more icons than necessary. Icnfnt was originally a weekend project built to solve this problem. Since it worked so well, Grant and Clay decided to put it online for anyone to use. Built with Angular.js, Bootstrap, Flask, FontForge, and lots of pizza.
