Add more FOSS-aligned icons

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Feature Request

There are tons of icons available, but the selection of free software and open systems is very limited. But I would love to have the exposure to free software and openness increased.

FYI: I come from freegamedev.net as a regular member (not an admin) which recently activated this plugin, that's how I know this plugin.

Describe the solution you'd like

I request to have icons added for the following open communications/systems/networks:

  • XMPP
  • Matrix
  • diaspora*
  • Signal
  • PeerTube (joinpeertube.org)
  • Pixelfed.org

Also, icons for …:

  • Codeberg.org
  • GitLab.com
  • NotABug.org
  • Launchpad.net
  • SourceForge.net
  • OpenDev.org
  • Gitea.com
  • OpenCollective.com
  • Liberapay.com

(Feel free to add your own ideas)

We are currently limited to what is offered in FontAwesome v5. We could bundle additional icons with the extension but that would require extra code and comes with licensing/trademark issues that would probably be best to avoid completely.

Here's a link to all the FontAwesome brand icons https://fontawesome.com/v5/search?m=free&s=brands

If any of your suggested icons are in FontAwesome, it would be as simple as adding them to the array in https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/socialprofile/blob/master/js/src/forum/components/IconSelectorComponent.js PRs welcome!

There are some interesting icons in FontAwesome:

  • diaspora
  • discorse
  • gitlab
  • gratipay
  • npm
  • wikipedia-w

Oh, forget gratipay, it's dead now.
