Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

One import for any icon from any set. No more searching for the right icon package.

80/100 · ship

Open-source Figma alternative that's genuinely usable. SVG-native output and self-hosting are significant advantages.

Creator
80/100 · ship

200,000 icons in one place with consistent APIs. The icon explorer makes finding the right icon fast.

45/100 · skip

Impressive for open source but the feature gap with Figma is still noticeable. Plugins and community resources are limited.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

Solves the icon fragmentation problem elegantly. Free, open source, and works with every framework.

80/100 · ship

Free and self-hostable design tool. For teams that can't use Figma (security, cost, sovereignty), Penpot is the answer.
