Since iOS 14 came out I’ve been inspired to reorganise my home screen and really make it my own with custom widgets and icons. To do so I download a bunch of free and paid icon packs but found that none of them included all the icons I wanted to replace. So I made my own icon generator - http://bit.ly/myicon-io

Features:

- Search and select from thousands of brand logos and symbols.

- Edit wallpaper colour

- Edit icon background colour

- Edit icon logo/symbol colour

- Download a .zip of your selected icons

- Premium Presets. A list of preconfigured designs

Upcoming features:

- iPhone/iPad mockup view. See how your icons would look on a device

- Downloadable wallpapers

Tech stack:

- Next.js

- Tailwind CSS

- Stripe

- Hosted on Vercel

- No back-end to manage and no Database

Let me know what you think :-)

There is no backend :-)

I use a JS library on the client to convert the SVGs to PNGs - https://www.npmjs.com/package/save-svg-as-png

The zipping is also done on the client
