Hi @javiercn. Please make sure you've updated the PR description to use the Shiproom Template. Also, make sure this PR is not marked as a draft and is ready-to-merge.

As a stopgap measure this works for me

@blowdart , @javiercn I wonder if for the link we should use the suggestion from iconic/open-iconic#60 (comment) instead?

@Mike-E-angelo Maybe you can use archive.org as a work around for now: https://web.archive.org/web/20220506153325/https://useiconic.com/icons/

But maybe the details page are not up-to-date, but better then nothing.

I think that's worse, as we're relying on another 3rd party caching a 3rd party. While I generally trust archive.org page copyright owners can get things removed.

The best option would be update the whole thing, icons, readme, license. If we can't get into 7.0 rtm then we have more time and that's the way to go, this is just a tactical option right now.

Note this also exists in dotnet/samples, dotnet/maui-samples, dotnet/blazor-samples, dotnet/aspnetcore.docs. I guess those don't need updating on the GA timeline though.

The original links are to "useiconic.com" not "useionic.com". Ionic is a product that happens to have its own set of icons, but I don't think it's related to Iconic or open iconic, which is what we use. I don't think we should be replacing links to Iconic with links to Ionic icons (ionicons). Maybe just remove the links to useiconic.com for now?

LGTM

Issue covering remaining work: #44606

[masterparser]

I think that the website has changed to: https://www.appstudio.dev/app/OpenIconic.html. This new site features the same number of icons, 223, and same licenses as were found at the previous site (useiconic.com/open).

Hi @masterparser. It looks like you just commented on a closed PR. The team will most probably miss it. If you'd like to bring something important up to their attention, consider filing a new issue and add enough details to build context.
