Next steps

~~- I'm trying to build a Clean UI for archive view. We'll select icons from the tableview(nstableview).~~

I'm trying to create a new plugin, it will include material-icon-font and svg icon font parser.
I will add "icon categories" in "Add icon from Archive". I'll be using it to filter icons. ~~- I need to delete unnecessary codes.~~ ~~- I need to add more annotations and good instructions.~~
