Yes, a lot!
In fact, I found out that just SF Symbols are enough for most of my projects... If I want more fancy icons, I usually buy a pack on icons8.com which we modify with a designer. I don't even remember building icons/illustrations from scratch. 😊

@michallangmajer Thank you for sharing your approach! It's great to hear how SF Symbols and icons from icons8.com have streamlined your projects.
@dimagroshev why AI generated answer? 👀 Doesn't seem really good...
@michallangmajer 😅 You сaught me. I try to diversify my answers and therefore sometimes use AI for help. Didn't work out very well this time. 🫣 Sorry for this.
And really thank you so much for your detailed answer.
Launching soon!
feather and font awesome. But Will replace them with custom designed ones soon. When there is an AI tool that can make them in any style etc. Any day now
@sentry_co Thank you for your answer. Do you think AI will soon create icon sets?
Launching soon!
@dimagroshev In any style you want. You just make a list of needs. Pick sources of inspiration. Then iterate. And narrow it down. Icon sets are very repetitive. Only so many ways you can design them. The unique ness is often in the nuances. and AI is great at generating different nuances at scale.
@sentry_co Agree with you. I think it'd make our job a lot easier, but it is not yet clear when this will be. I'd like to see how this will work.
Yes! Bootstrap icons works for us!
@grvsharma Yes, Bootstrap has good icons. Do they cover all your needs?
