Looks awesome. Can't wait for the ability to customize icon colour and drag & drop feature. Do you already have a launch date for this?
Robin Philip Thomas
Thanks @piotr_pawlowski 😊. Its usually weekends that I get time to work on Icon Shelf. Should take a couple of weekends. In the mean time. If you have any inputs on how drag & drop & customize icon colour should work. Feel feel to add your inputs to these github issues: https://github.com/Icon-Shelf/ic... https://github.com/Icon-Shelf/ic...

Great tool! *_* This is so helpful for all designers and creators! Saves time, and provides a bunch of inspirations and useful items! Thanks, and congratulations on the launch! ^_^ Is it possible to download it in different formats, or there is a certain format in which it must be downloaded? :))
Robin Philip Thomas
Thanks @maria_brm. Did you mean if we can export icon to different formats? We don't support export as of now, but happy to take a feature request. What all export formats were you looking for?
Maria
@robin_philip_thomas Yes, exactly.. Thanks for the answer! That would be very cool feature ^_^ I wish you inspiring ideas and luck in further development! ^_^

This looks nice, I was just thinking the other day that it would be nice to have a single place to go to for icons, my tried and trusted set if you like. One suggestion would be to loose the "seem" in the "And they seem to love us" - I get the tone of voice you have gone for but there is an odd seed of doubt in the phrase, "And they love us" is more confident 😀
Robin Philip Thomas
Makes sense. Thanks for your feedback @simon_barker1.

Howdy Product Hunters; excited to finally be launching Icon Shelf today 🍿 Big ❤️ to @kevin for hunting us. Icon Shelf is a tool I wish I had as a frontend/product engineer. I hated the time searching for a specific icon in file system and finally after finding it, struggling to get the import statement for the icon correct. Icon Shelf tries to solve this and many other SVG icon related problems. If you would like to see what all is coming next for Icon Shelf, have a look at our roadmap. https://github.com/Icon-Shelf/ic... I built it on my free time and its relatively new. Would love you'r thoughts and feedback. ❤️

@kevin @robin_philip_thomas Hi, nice attempt but all the icons are displayed black which makes them impossible to view on the dark background. I've tried with several icons packs with the same result. On Windows 11 here.
Robin Philip Thomas
@franckinjapan will check it out. In the mean time can you tell me what is the fill value of these svgs. Are they fill="currentcolor" or something else? We have a similar issue filed on github, which you can use to track the issue. https://github.com/Icon-Shelf/ic...
FranckUxJapan
@robin_philip_thomas The fill value wouldn't matter at all if you used -webkit-mask-image in order to display the icons in the grid. By doing this you can override any existing color.
Robin Philip Thomas
Nice I'll checkout -webkit-mask-image
Robin Philip Thomas
@franckinjapan that worked beautifully. Thanks. New release coming next week.

One enhancement I would like to see is, Instead of having " copy as react " as default option in the right pane, it would be easy if there is customisation available to make default option for copy and show rest of the copy options on click of a three dots menu under it.
Robin Philip Thomas
@write2sampath I like the secondary menu idea. But currently if you wanna customise the primary action it is possible. Click on "customize actions" menu item on the left nav collection item. Drag the action you want as primary to the top. This becomes the primary action for the collection.

Nice work guys, we had something similar in mind. You guys just killed it, congrats on the launch.

Nice work on this. Some kind of connection to figma will be great.
Robin Philip Thomas
Thanks @anuoluwapo_abraham. Can you elaborate on what would you like to happen after connecting with figma?

Doesn't work on my win10 https://prnt.sc/24g1ecu

@serggg were you trying to build it manually after cloning repo? I can see the error is file not found for render.dev.js. Which could be due to not running setup steps in github properly. If you want the packaged app, you can download and install from https://icon-shelf.github.io/dow...
Sergey Pozhilov
@robin_philip_thomas I did install it from that link - https://icon-shelf.github.io/dow... and tried to run it right away

The UI is practically a copy of Iconic.app...

Looks nice, but couldn't be able to use it, since windows defender detected as a harmful software!
Robin Philip Thomas
@badrekb You will have to whitelist icon-shelf in windows defender for now. It shows like that since we have not bought a Signing Certificate for windows. Not due to it having any harmful software.
