yeah but the icons are already on github aren't they? Why are they on reduntly hosted on firebase? This whole website can be free on github pages - very confusing.

Because I stopped using GitHub to submit icons to let non techies submit them, GitHub is all good for static sites but I needed something that would let uses submit icons directly from the website without needing to know how to use GitHub, here is a thread I created that explains it all better: https://twitter.com/elrumo/status/1328860367850758146?s=21

I’ll be moving away from Firebase into something that more sense soon anyway, it was just an oversight from me as I not expected it to to get to 40k visits in just a few days, I was only expecting a few hundred a day.
