    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

      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.

    Most of the animations so far are ported from pqoqubbw/icons and github.com/imskyleen/animate-ui, I'm planning to add more complex / meaningful animations as new variants in the future :) always happy to know which icons are most relevant for that.
