What version of
starlightare you using?0.41.7
What is your idea?
Just like Starlight has built-in icons for Telegram, Pinterest and TikTok, I think it'd be nice to have one for Goodreads too.
I link to my Goodreads profile from my site's social links, and today I have to fall back on the generic
open-bookicon, which reads as "documentation" rather than "this is my library over on Goodreads".Following the guidance you gave in #4135, here's a monochrome 24x24 version of the Goodreads
gmark, run through SVGOMG:You can see the mark rendered at https://simpleicons.org/?q=goodreads — the path above is Simple Icons'
goodreads, which is already monochrome on a 24x24 viewBox and published under CC0-1.0. I checked it side by side withtelegram,linkedinandgithubat 24px and the optical weight matches.Happy to use a different source or a different crop of the mark if you'd prefer — just say the word and I'll adjust before opening the PR.
Why is this feature necessary?
Goodreads is the most widely used "here's what I read" profile link, so it's a natural companion to the reading/writing-adjacent icons Starlight already ships (
substack,rss,pinterest). Right now the only options are a generic icon that misrepresents the link, or dropping out of the built-in icon set entirely.Do you have examples of this feature in other projects?
WhatsApp was added the same way very recently in #4135 / #4142, and Telegram before that in #794.
