obsidian-tasks-custom-icons

Phil Ricketts - @replete - created a lovely CSS mechanism for compact, monochrome Tasks emojis, and shared it in Discussion #1965.

As Phil is no longer using this, we have transferred it over to the obsidian-tasks-group organisation, in the new location: obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks-custom-icons. Many thanks Phil for all the work on this.

We are now looking for someone with design experience to help add support for some extra emojies. Contact @claremacrae if you would like to know more.
