I used to work with Conan in a "big company" and in those kind of places, you are mostly never allowed to install the softwares you want on your computer.

For most of the people in the company, it was understandable, but when you are a software developer… it's a bit ridiculous.

Quite often we need to edit or create some icons, and when you can't install a software for doing that, it's a bit annoying. So, the quick solution is to have a website providing those kind of tools online (or you can fill 3 documents, ask the authorization to your supervisor and wait 1 week to get the software installed on your computer, and of course it's a 5 years old version).

Since there was no website for creating icons, Conan decided to create one: iconfu.com.

I was a bit skeptical about doing that kind of tools online, but in fact it seems to work. Conan has done a great job with javascript here to get all that stuff working.

Of course, the website is preloaded with thousand of creative commons licensed icons, and they are tagged. That mean you can look for icons tagged "folder" and "search" and you will end up with some icons like this one (by Siddharth Maheshwari):

Anyway, have a look at iconfu.com.
