Description
I'm often using this page https://www.mapbox.com/maki-icons/ to try to find an appropriate Maki icon for a given use. I assume that's the primary purpose? It could work better:
- only display the -15 icon
- use a solid background, not the chequer pattern
- write the name of the icon, so it's searchable (ie, Ctrl+F, "dog")
- draw the icons a bit bigger.
- consider grouping them?
The chequered pattern is probably the biggest issue for findability, IMHO.
