I'm pretty sure everyone has seen Fontawesome icons somewhere, they are so widely used and even included in Bootstrap.
Today we are going to look ...

I wonder about colors...
The icons - since they behave/are font elements - shall use the colours same way just like any other text/string element on the page. You can do any transformation or css trick also on them. The only thing what have to consider is the icon variant (outline, filled versions...).
Thanks for this additional answers, well explained! 🤟
Like mentioned by huncyrus there are rendered as a font/svg in which you can change it so any color you want.
I personally prefer Fork Awesome. More icons about decentralized tools
Indeed also a good option!
Which part is complicated?
Last time when I used, I copied the css & font files into my public, then included into my header then added a simple < i class="fas fa-check-circle" >< /i > and it worked.
It is decreasing my site speed a bit. -_-
Hey!
This indeed is a downside it will be faster loading the font locally, or if you only need a limited number of icons you can use the direct SVG codes.

I thought it will be a deep introduction for the FA. Just quick small additions:
Personal note:
100% agreed, you must understand it's hard to write a blog every day and include every possible aspect of what can happen or options there are.
So hence it always being very small starting elements.
I indeed choose the SVG option for many of my website, most of the time I only need 3/4 icons and will choose to just use the SVG code instead of loading font awesome.
As of the inline styling, You are correct! Haha, it shouldn't be used.
Although it seems to be coming back more with React etc. that will render more inline nowadays.
Thank you so much for the addition, put some points on my todo list to refactor as well.

You can directly download the files and host on your server without CDN service. 🙌🏼
A example on my website
Hey,
Many frameworks do come with font awesome same as bootstrap, but you will sometimes need it without a framework! :D
Me too, I do love frameworks for quick bootstrapping beta's but mainly build without any framework.
