These look great. I'm a bit ignorant on the topic - what makes an icon a 'Reach Icon'? Can these only be used in React apps? Am I missing something fundamental?

Thanks for your interest!
To clarify, these icons can be used in any interface.
The term 'React Icons' refers to the specific React package we've created to make it easy for developers to integrate these icons into React and React Native applications.
However, you can absolutely use these icons in other ways as well.
They are available through a Figma plugin, WordPress, and directly in HTML-CSS via SVG.
Compatible with any framework.
I hope this clears up any confusion!

The name "React" in the title implies that this library has a dependence on React. I almost wrote it off for my purposes before I realized that it really doesn't have anything to do with React.

Yet there are other developers who are unaware the possibilities of non-react web development or how to use any resource that isn't installed with NPM. Tough call from a marketing perspective.

I would think the basics of HTML resources is a minimal bar for calling yourself a "developer" (at that stage you're still a student or an apprentice)

Unfortunately it's a pretty common issue in react forums. There was a discussion recently about there being no way to create s3 upload urls in react. I mean of there are several npm modules, but non have react hooks so nothing was viewed as usable.

You can call yourself whatever you can get away with. There are a whole lot of people out there that have never slung anything but React-flavored JS being called developers and being paid to do it. The industry needs these technicians too, I guess.
