Here is a table of missing features and bugs for this crate. Please do try your hand at any of the tasks listed below if you feel like it would improve your developer experience!

  • RAM usage issue with rust-analyzer.
    I have not found a way to configure rust-analyzer so that it does not import into memory every icon's name, even when the library is not imported. icondata seems to take around 700MB of RAM on my machine with rust-analyzer. I'm not highly knowledgeable about rust-analyzer's infrastructure, but I believe it would require us to file an issue to rust-analyzer to add configuration options for our use case.
  • Explorer site not working on small screens.
    This issue is a simple task, it only requires making a dynamic header with tailwind.
  • Most icons from HeroIcons are not rendering.
  • Writing a cron job that periodically updates icon libraries.
  • What should we do with icon categories e.g., Sm, Md, Lg, etc.? Are they useful, or are they simply scaled up versions of other icons?
  • Make sure (with a CI test or the like) that every icon can be properly styled.
    Some icons can't seem to be styled because they use internal styles.
  • Revisit they way twotone icons are handled.
    currently, we set a class on the secondary elements of twotone icons, but maybe there is a better solution.

Package Issues

Potential removals:

  • CSS.GG icons have a restrictive license after version 2.1.1, which means we can't update it anymore.
  • Charm Icons is not popular and unmaintained.
  • Typicons is unmaintained.

Writing a cron job that periodically updates icon libraries.

An alternative, slightly more complex but a bit more efficient, could be a CI job that rebuilds the libraries which could get triggered by renovate PRs based on new releases of the source icon libs.

Great idea!
