Preview

I just want to see the icons

Legal advice

"Can I use this in anything that pays money?"

I have no idea, please ask your lawyer. This is just a for-fun project, though I could imagine commercial use cases.

Generate own icon set

This is a bit complicated.

Download drawings

  1. Sign up at Google if you haven't
  2. Install Google Cloud SDK
  3. Run gsutil -m cp 'gs://quickdraw_dataset/full/simplified/*' drawings
  4. Wait, this downloads ~22 GB. Change the wildcard and play with gsutil ls if you don't want all of the drawings.

Generate icons

  1. Clone project
  2. yarn or npm i
  3. npm run build, this calls the CLI script in ./bin. You can pass parameters after a double-dash like so: npm run build -- --help

Look at icons
