Just discovered it thanks to bolt.new which used it 😄 the icons look gorgeous, but maybe a bit too homogenous so it’s hard to distinguish them at quick glance IMO.

The project is actively maintained, and new icons are added frequently. The newest icon, `toilet`, was added 5 days ago! (Not sure I’ll have a use for this one 😅)

So the SVG sets the stroke color to currentColor. I’m guessing Lucide’s icon playground uses a slightly-transparent stroke color. Or maybe I messed something up before taking the screenshot 😅. But yeah it shouldn’t be in the icon itself.

I’m gonna give it a try now. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Another great benefit is that they work well with building universal, thanks to lucide-react-native!

I've been using it with svelte for more then a year now, never going back

💯

Why lucide instead of tabler? That's definitely my favorite, with 5700+ icons and MIT license

I use it in all my new projects.

That’s interesting! As a general rule I don’t really want to mix and match icons since I want all of my icons to be cohesive, I’d rather draw my own icons when my icon pack doesn’t include one, in the same style. But Lucide doesn’t include brand icons, so this could be useful!

Wow. They’re so tight. I love them. Definitely gonna try these in my next project.

Sounds like it’s more about it being too much work, and impossible when brand icons don't work in a single color github.com/feathericons...

I like Tabler too, has more icons and the quality is equally great.

What about iconly pro, I'm used to use this library!

Yea so I thought, the machinery to get the ref would be about the same for such simple paths, and you bring in all the hassle of packing the icons and making them available somewhere on the page..

Nice! I keep reaching for FontAwesome (SVG only) but I might give these a spin on my next project. I see it has an 11ty package too! 👀

agree! I love the library and lucide's support for quick svg copy. so good

That's my favorite icon library too.

This looks nice! I've been using Tabler at work lately and it's been pretty good, how do you think they compare?

Thanks for sharing. I’ll take a look — I need some great base icons for handover.zip

lucid icons are so easy to work with too

Yees, Lucide icons are the best. They’re incredibly easy to work with

Awesome - I'm really tired of Material

Yes! This is what I've ended up on as well 🌟

I need a bookmark button for stuff like this on here 😫

Lucide is far and away my favorite icon library i've used in my career. It pretty much always has something I need, and I never need to think too deeply about how to get icons into my app

📌

It is so nice to be able to integrate them so easily.

I miss the generation of components in the Figma plugin. Using components in Figma requires all icons as components and without you will have a hard life as a designer.

I live in a French province so I’ve been pronouncing it "loo seed".

I was just thinking about which icon library to use yesterday, and today you posted this. Guess I won't have to do any research now😀.

Yep! It’s not the same team, but it’s a fork and spiritual successor 😄

This looks awesome, I used to try and use feather for stuff but have just been using fontawesome lately because I always needed icons feather didn't have. I'll give this one a try

I'm using it for all my projects 💪

Agreed 👍

Use them as well for Vue projects. In Figma I use Remix, which is also decent. The only thing I believe is missing in Lucid is filled icons, they only have outline. But I ADORE how they present it. I might be using a wrong/expensive/non-suitable package just because it looks nice 😅

Nice! Hadn’t heard of this one before but it looks great.

Love it! I often come back to FeatherIcons when I want a unified library, but the relatively limited set meant that I was reaching for Iconify or react-icons or something half the time 😬 Looks like they have a Svelte library as well so I'm sold!

The library is great! Every time I dive into a project that doesn’t use Lucide, I really wonder why😅

📌

Great suggestion! Also TIL "cervids" 😄

I like Heroicons because they have different icon sizes and styles for each icon, so smaller icons have less detail. I think small icons with too much detail look ugly and large icons with little detail look dull. I've been creating complementary icons to Heroicons: github.com/ndri/sidekic...

These look quite nifty @jimram.bsky.social @danwebbb.bsky.social

I love it! Other icon packs always miss that one icon you really need and can't find a suitable replacement 😅 Lucide has them all ☺️

Both Lucide and Simple Icons sets are also included in icones.js.org, an awesome project made by @antfu.me based on iconify.design

Thanks for sharing, Josh! Totally agree that aesthetics are key, so I’ll definitely give Lucide a try someday – looking forward to seeing how it compares! 🙌

I only use a handful of icons per route, so it hasn’t really been an issue, less than 10kb even before gzipping IIRC. And it isn’t really multiple hops, at least not in terms of network requests; they’re all bundled alongside my other JS (with the React package, at least).

Yeah I wonder why they discourage SVG sprites on their site. You can create sprites (which are cached like most static resources) with only those icons that you need. <use /> is so much better than inlining SVGs in a table with 500 rows (2-4 icons per row :))

Yeah this is what I want if only for the ergonomics of use. Being able to import a single sheet & point to several icons w/ the xlinkHref is super easy

My biggest beef with Lucide is the icon names in React not including the Icon subfix

Wish these were available as a font 😔

I feel like this is the sort of optimization that gets people really animated online, but I’ve been using inline SVGs for years and I’ve never had an issue with it. But maybe there are some popular examples of large projects that did solve a real problem by switching to a different format?

these are incredible!

I’ve used it with Svelte and it was great!

I got to know it through v0. Cool icons!

What any react icons?

This is super timely. I've been using Linear Icons; I love the design, but it's too expensive to buy, and the free icons are limited. Giving this a try!

It makes sense, thanks for the explanation 🙏

If you wants to browse more icons then here i build a search engine of 200k+ icons. Iconbuddy.com

It comes by default with shadcn 🔥

Been using their icon library for almost a year now, and it is great! Definitely recommend using it.

Yeah. I’ve used that method as well. One benefit of sheets is it’s just a file locally I can modify the svg themselves within the sheet. I’m not sure why I’m so tied to it but once I learned about I always tend to prefer it. But good to know thanks.

📌

I am already using Lucide as I think you once recommended on your Discord channel. I am so far very happy with the recommendation! Lucide works great for me.

This is so great! I'm so far behind the times. Searching for SVGs, pasting them into Figma, copying the SVG code, manipulating the SVG code, etc etc etc ... and eventually they are on the site. Definitely checking this out now. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome, I will have to try this out. I've been using heroicons and recently feeling limited in the icon choice.
