Feature request: Extend icons collection

Open astappiev opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

I would like to have an option to use more icons for Libraries, e.g. I'm creating library Cookbooks and I can't find anything suitable at all.

Maybe something similar to Notion, allowing the use of a custom URL to download an icon would be ideal.

@astappiev Thanks for the suggestion! Currently, Booklore uses the PrimeNG icon set, which isn’t very extensive. While I would love to allow users to upload custom icons, doing so would add complexity to the backend, which I’d prefer to avoid for now.

That said, I’m considering switching to Font Awesome, as it offers a much larger and more diverse set of icons, which could better address your use case. Thanks again for bringing it up!

Sure, thank you @adityachandelgit, for this wonderful project!

I agree that this feature should have lower priority, but in case someone wants to implement it, there is a demand. As for FontAwesome, I'm not sure if this is a better choice. Maybe MDI would be more suitable. Or just keep it as it is until one day, custom icons are implemented. Otherwise, it's impossible to satisfy all icon preferences.

What about adding emoji icons for libraries/shelves? this will certainly expand the existing icons.

thank you @adityachandelgit for this!

Closing this since it’s not in scope, sorry!
