Better Performance, Unified Experience
28 April 2025
Lightning Fast Performance ⚡
“maybe the only thing I'll point to at this point really is speed, sometimes I open the plugin and it's loading for a while but I realize it's doing that because it's loading every icon under the sun hahaha. it's only doing that for like 4-5s btw, but if yr opening Framericons multiple times the loading can get a lil cumbersome”
— Justin
We heard you loud and clear, every second counts in your creative flow. That's why we've set aside our other goals of improving the UI/UX and decided to focus completely on improving the loading speed and performance.
I’ll spare you the technical jargon and just tell you the result in simple English. FramerIcons now launches in just 0.4-1.2 seconds, down from 1.5-2.4 seconds previously that's roughly a 300% speed boost that will save you precious time on every design session, and roughly a 100% faster when you use the plugin for the first.
The speed might of course depends on your internet speed and location, but you’ll definitely feel the difference.
Unified Navigation Experience 🤝
Thanks to the amazing feedback we received from Anand, we've reimagined our entire navigation experience from an end-user perspective and discovered huge room for improvement!
Previously, we maintained each icon set's original structure from the creator's point of view. However, from a user's perspective, this made navigation confusing since the experience varied widely across different sets.
For example, some icon sets lacked style groupings or categories, while others had minimal organization beyond the icons themselves. The naming conventions also varied! Some used "Outlined," others simply "Line." Similarly, some sets used "Fill" while others used "Solid"
What seemed like a simple task—unifying all icon sets' structure and naming conventions to create a more seamless navigation experience—turned into an intensive week-long project with countless iterations and many cups of coffee. But we did it!
We've restructured all compatible icon sets to follow this new format:
We then standardized the naming convention for across all compatible icon sets to:
And we even simplified some of the category names!
Now you can smoothly navigate between icon sets without memorizing different terminologies, enjoy a cleaner view, and perform more efficient searches by filtering through styles or categories. exactly as Anand suggested. Thank you, Anand!
We also believe that this will open the door for a better filtering options when performing a plugin wide searches, If you think this will be helpful please let us know by sharing your ideas.
Icon Sets: Welcome to the Family, Material Icons! 🤖
A few weeks ago I was asked to work on Framer project, I checked the design guidelines, and noticed the company uses Material Icons as their iconography, I also remembered we don’t have that in FramerIcons, so the first thing I said was F***.
