Navigating Free Icon Sets
Together with the struggle for the quality and number of icons in free sets (I take off my hat to gasyoun and Yusuke Kamiyamane), navigation on them is becoming increasingly unbearable. Especially in a situation where several projects are already at the debugging stage and each one has its own set. You start to confuse the names for typical icons, and searching for the desired icon in huge PNG maps takes the lion's share of time.
In order to make this process easier and more convenient, I wrote a small rail application that can sort and filter these icons .
For a long time using Fugue Icons, I was not used to the fact that for the “Edit” link, you need to search for pencil.png, and not edit.png. To solve this problem at the same time, tags are attached to each icon (you can add a tag when you click on the icon). The final search is performed both by file name and by all tags.
Feel this miracle here: http://iconpicker.deviantech.ru/ . Nginx is configured to attempt to force the browser to cache the files in .png, so once you wait until the set is fully loaded, you can work quite comfortably.

Initially, the application was written for local work. And in order to avoid habraeffekt, everyone who needs to actively select the icons of mercy, we ask on Github . Four sets are included in the repository along with the codes: Fugue Icons, Fat Cow, FamFamFam and Led. You can add your sets, knowing the rails, by debugging the create_collections migration.
