Navigator free icons
Yesterday at that time the question arose on the selection of several icons in another web project. Mainly use ready-made icons from free sets. Until recently resorted to the services of the website iconpicker.deviantech.ru. Navigation icons was, though not the most comfortable, but definitely better than just to look through them in the Finder (or Explorer). Recently, however, the site is unavailable.
In the end, I decided to make my own Navigator icons:
Navigator is a HTML page with JavaScript code. That is, it works great being open from the local disk. But for convenience and demonstrations posted online on github — sibprogrammer.github.com/icons-explorer
In fact the interface allows you to view the entire list of icons from several sets (necessary when you do not know what to look for) and allows you to filter the set keyword, leaving on the page only those that match the criteria (when you know how is what you're looking for).
The source is located at the address — github.com/sibprogrammer/icons-explorer For a regular viewer it's easier to download the archive and open index.html to search for icons (GitHub Pages is still quite slow responding to thousands of requests :))
The idea Navigator has matured long ago, and broken website iconpicker.deviantech.ru only accelerated the process. In practice it turned out that to manipulate more than 7 thousands icons even Google Chrome'quite hard. When you open a page to load only those icons that are visible at the moment. To do this, use the LazyLoad plugin for jQuery. Unfortunately its performance on such volumes was insufficient and had to spend some time on improvements in terms of speed. As a result, the page scrolling has ceased permanently to slow down, but only periodically to reflect. Although the system requirements for the client are quite high. To significantly improve the situation would sprites, but their generation is a separate issue that was deferred to a future date.
Navigator was done primarily with the aim to satisfy their own needs. But I think will be useful to other developers.
