[RFC] New Lucide Icon Set Plugin - Intended to be a core drop-in replacement

Thanks for the feedback.

What are the alternatives?

  • Where do we have a similar amount of icons?
  • Where is the license compatible with our TW BSD 3-clause?
  • Where do we get the code of a full build system, that allows us to build every icon from scratch?
  • Where do we have the possibility to create our own compatible icons in an easy to create format?
  • Where do we get code that will allow us to convert “stroke icons” into “path icons” which we need for backwards compatibility?
  • Where do we get icons that actually look good and are modern?
  • Where do we get consistent and easy to understand guidelines how to create new icons?
  • Where do we get an active project, that constantly adds new icons in an understandable way?
    • In May as I did look the first time, there where about 1300+ icons. Now there are 1500
  • Where do we get the possibility to contribute, if we deliver quality?

At the moment we do have ~100+ icons in the core. So 15 times more is not that bad. I did need to create some custom icons, because they did not exist upstream. But there is a chance that some are accepted uptream.

The term: “filter” gives me 20 results

  • What would you like to have?

There is a Lab checkbox. If you switch in on there are 400 icons more in other categories. (But I’m not sure yet, how we can use them. )

Icon naming is a bit strange. Tags and categories may not always work out. But they have a rule for icon naming too. https://lucide.dev/guide/design/icon-design-guide#naming-conventions which may help with finding the right search terms.

Yea, There is a crux with expectations. Sometimes they make me feel sad.
