I like the idea

Some examples need more work i think

"Database backup" has circular arrow spinning backwards

"Earth" shows lines being drawn -- instead i expected it to show an abstract spin of the globe

"Droplet" animates the outline draw. Expected a droplet that starts small and descends to become full size.

Same with "flame" -- should ideally be an animated flame licking up / whisps

"Copy" and "File Stack" -- the animation shown should ideally be reversed i think

"Git-branch" -- animation is wrong, doesn't show branching -- just drawing nodes and lines.

"Hand-grab" -- should start with open palm and then the grab.

Same with "hand-fist"

Many animations are simple zoom/enlarge - like those on right angle arrows are not serving a purpose

Thank you for the great comment, the effort, and your view/experience shared!

The droplet is what I found unexpected, too, indeed. Yet, the overall ideas, including the reverse animations on rotating ones, with some funky ease, is purely genius, I believe...

If the actual animations/work are of hand of the Tim Rietz, the developer signed alongside Claude LLM, the they are a great artist!

  • Thanks! Great to learn about other new icons libs, too

    • Thank you for the response!

      To clarify, are you the author of the animations, or is it anyone/anything else as LLM, as the Claude used?

      It seems like some look like of artists' Elliot Sutton (imskyleen at GitHub) and/or and dmytro (pqoqubbw at GitHub).

      Oh... and the animation ease effect of rating items is also of dmytro's, isn'it it? It may be seen at:

      In this case, what is the main reason of your/LLMs project, if I may ask? What does it provide the aforementioned don't?

      // ----- Edit (+20m)

      I see, your project is a port to Vue you started:

      - https://github.com/imskyleen/animate-ui/discussions/178

      Relatively similar to projects as RadixVue, ShadcnVue, and the following:

      - https://github.com/iloomilo/itshover-vue

      Just in case, the aforementioned `icones.js.com` is not "new", but a project of Vue Community, initiated by Anthony Fu (antfu at GitHub), who is a member of the Vue core Team.

      Regardless, though I don't appreciate use of LLMs (and presenting its output as personal work/effort), I appreciate you heartfelt for the added support for the ineffably marvelous Vue!

Hi! Thanks for checking it out and for the specific examples. I agree, many of the animations are quite basic, will put this on the agenda for improvement. The library already supports multiple variants, so the new animations can be added without breaking existing usage.
