Show HN: App that creates icons in SVG format

https://www.factoryicon.org/
2•dorletz•9mo ago
Built a simple app that creates simple icons in black and white and then returns them in SVG format.

Used it to create all the icons on the website and would love to hear your thoughts.

Happy easter :)

Consistent, professionally made, beautiful, diverse, free, open-source icons packs are plentiful.

So why pay for AI icons of unknown quality which may not even look to be of the same family? It feels to me someone who is budget-constrained or doesn’t want to spend the money already has more than enough options, and those who need something distinct will hire a designer anyway. I don’t see who this person in the middle that you’re targeting is.

Of course, nothing wrong with building this for fun, but you seem to be trying to make a business out of it, and I don’t understand who the customer is supposed to be.*

* Yes, for sure someone is going to pay for it, there is always someone who’ll spend money on anything, especially if it says “AI” or “blockchain”, or whatever the tech in vogue is, but doesn’t seem enough for a real market when AI image generators are themselves a dime a dozen.

this project was more made for fun. I agree there are many image generator apps, but i haven’t found one that generates this type of icons so i shipped it. Users do have 5 free credits to try the app.
