    I work at Font Awesome (YC 2015) and we recently launched Font Awesome 7, including hundreds of new icons, a fresh visual redesign, and better perf.

Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there.
