After almost a decade my very first massive open source project got a facelift.
Devicons now has a new website, new icons, and support for all major frontend frameworks.
+1300 high fidelity icons, covering all major programming languages, tools, and AI related technologies.
`devicons` is agent-ready.
Ask your coding agent for a logo and it can search 1,397 developer icons and add the right one as an SVG or a React, Vue or Svelte component.

I've also spent countless hours optimizing the documentation part of the project, ensuring that it's clear, concise, and easy to navigate.

I keep library docs open in Chrome and use MCP to pipe them into my Claude Code session.
Example: I'm working with a Fastify plugin I haven't used before. Instead of alt-tabbing to read the docs, I tell Claude to read the open tab, extract the docs, and keep them as context.
Works especially well for APIs with poor TypeScript types. Claude reads the human docs and fills the gaps. Alternatively, context7.com/ provides up to date documentation for major tools and frameworks.
Claude Code defaults to writing code first, tests second. That's backwards, especially for old codebases. You can use a `PostToolUse` hook that runs your test suite after every file edit.
Now iterations can't skip the red-green-refactor cycle.
So, your Claude Code sessions starts degrading in quality quite early in a session?
You might be fighting against the way Claude Code manages memory.
Thread: how memory actually works in Claude Code, and how to stop fighting it.
9/ Two knobs worth knowing:
`CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE=70` fires compaction earlier, so you never get caught mid-task.
Opus 4.6/4.7 also support a 1M-token window for massive codebase passes. Avoid it for daily work. Lost-in-the-middle still applies.
