Hey all 👋

After a lot of feedback on my previous icon workflow post, I kept iterating on the idea.

What started as:
scan → organize → export
is slowly turning into something closer to a reusable icon system inside Figma.

Some of the recent improvements:
• Favorites now sync locally across Figma projects
• Smarter icon naming and organization
• Better handling for large icon sets
• Reusable icon libraries via import/export
• Cleaner, ready-to-use outputs
• Keeping the whole flow inside Figma without jumping between tools

The interesting challenge stopped being “exporting icons” and became more about:
consistency, reuse, and keeping things manageable at scale.

Curious:
How are you currently managing icon systems across projects?

What does your icon workflow usually rely on today?
libraries manual?
organization inside Figma?
or custom workflows?

Hey all 👋

I’ve been working on improving an icon workflow inside Figma, mainly focused on reducing friction between design and development.

What I kept noticing:
working with icons often involves too many steps, selecting, organizing, exporting, and then fixing things afterward.

So I’ve been trying to simplify that flow into something more natural:
scan → organize → save → export → use

The main focus wasn’t adding features, but:
- reducing repeated steps
- keeping context inside Figma
- making the flow feel smoother and less interruptive

Some things I’ve been experimenting with:
• auto-saving selections
• quick access via favorites
• better naming and organization
• handling larger icon sets without breaking the flow

Curious from a UX perspective:
Where do you usually feel friction in similar workflows?
Is it selection, organization, or export?

Would love to hear how you approach this.

Hey all 👋

I’ve been working on improving an icon workflow inside Figma, and put together a quick video showing the full flow.

The idea is to keep things simple:
scan → organize → save → export → use

What I’m trying to improve:
• More reliable icon detection (smart scan)
• Saving icons to a favorites list for reuse
• Smoother selection and organization
• Cleaner SVG output
• A demo page to preview icons and copy code

The goal is to reduce friction and make the process feel more natural.

Curious:
Does this flow make sense to you?
Where would you expect friction or confusion?

Happy to hear any thoughts.
