9k stars in 5 days for a bunch of logos (and they're not even SVG!).

Interesting...

Edit: This repo is super weird. 400+ open issues from different accounts, 200+ forks (what are they forking exactly?). All in the space of a few days.


The logos were very popular on twitter, see the account of the author here:

The open issues almost all requests for different logos.

People have already made their own t-shirts, stickers, keychains etc. using the logos:

That's quite incredible. The power of having a such a large social media following I guess.


The larger follower count comes FROM this project. I've seen a lot of people being really excited for this style and hoping their own tech stack comes next.

It's just something cute to celebrate tech.


> I've seen a lot of people being really excited for this style

I don't know what's the name of that style, but it's used a lot in the vtuber community. So much so that searching "vtuber logo" on Google Images will return mostly images that look very similar to those from the repo.


Right, I can see they had < 2000 followers before this project, now 14.5k.

Wait, you can revoke Creative Commons licenses? Aren't CC licenses irrevocable?

It’s not revoking the license, it’s saying that new (after that commit) logos have a different license. But the ones created before that commit presumably keep the original license.


The NextJS on is a real burn


> Unhandled Runtime Error: Needs some hydration

Nice. Appropriate for the recent major versions being a somewhat rocky transition. I migrated one project, cursing at their documentaion numerous times in the process; and another one I'm unable to upgrade due to mysterious errors lie this. Framework fatigue is real.


Go to https://react.dev/?uwu=true for a surprise. uwu=false to turn off.


Surprised to see no kubernetes logo
