Hacker News

The 'ps-hacker-news' icon represents the Hacker News logo, a popular platform for tech-related news and discussions. This icon originates from the PrestaShop Icons library, categorized under General icons, and is associated with the Y Combinator-backed news site.

In digital interfaces, this icon may appear in tech forums, news aggregators, or websites focused on technology and startup news. For example, it could be used on platforms like Hacker News itself, or other sites that discuss tech industry trends.

From a UX perspective, the Hacker News icon communicates a focus on technology, innovation, and community-driven news, helping users quickly identify content related to tech.

Hacker News is one of 479 icons in PrestaShop Icons, made by PrestaShop and released under CC BY-NC 4.0. It is drawn on a 464 × 488 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds HackerNewsIcon to components/icons/ps-hacker-news.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed HackerNewsIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Hacker News icon, or any of 479 PrestaShop Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 464 × 488 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Hacker News", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. HackerNewsIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <HackerNewsIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

No, not commercially: CC BY-NC 4.0 allows only non-commercial use, with credit to the author (PrestaShop). The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
