    The notice about having "access" to the backgrounds is sticky, and takes up one third of the screen on mobile with no way to remove it . . . Why?

    I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff, but I'm usually disappointed after clicking the link. These on the other hand are excellent, and that they have configurable options like stroke, color, etc is gravy on the top. Thanks for sharing!

    Great idea man, must be pulling in some good SEO traffic as well.

      Yes, I was lucky enough to find a keyword domain that was available. Would recommend :)

    These are beautiful, thank you for sharing. I really like the one with the triangles, was it inspired by Rule 30?

    This is very cool but hasn’t it been around for like a decade?

    Each one can be copied as inline SVG or CSS using the background-image property with a data URI. Most are under 1KB.

    What's the license?
    • visiwig 6 hours ago
      The license can be found here: svgbackgrounds.com/license

      Summary: You can use graphics in personal or commercial projects, you cannot use the graphics as the primary integrity of your product, you must provide attribution (svgbackgrounds.com/attribution)

      And before anyone rips off my head, attribution can be placed inside commented out code, so it doesn't need to take away from your design.
