# The Missing Piece Between Static Icons and Better UX

## Content

I built `@animateicons/react`, an open-source package for animated Lucide-style icons in React.

The goal is simple: make it easy to add subtle motion to buttons, menus, dashboards, landing pages, and product UIs without creating custom SVG animations from scratch.

## Install

```
pnpm add @animateicons/react
```

## Usage

```
import { EyeIcon } from "@animateicons/react/lucide";

export default function Example() {
  return <EyeIcon size={24} color="#f45b48" />;
}
```

## Why AnimateIcons?

- Smooth SVG animations
- Lucide-inspired design
- TypeScript support
- Tree-shakeable imports
- Lightweight and customizable
- Works with any React project

## Great For

- React applications
- Dashboards
- Landing pages
- Design systems
- Component libraries
- SaaS products

## Links

- **Docs:** https://animateicons.in/icons/docs
- **Package:** https://www.npmjs.com/package/@animateicons/react
- **GitHub:** https://github.com/Avijit07x/animateicons

I'm continuously improving the library and would love feedback on:

- API design
- Import experience
- Documentation clarity
- Missing icons or animation ideas

Contributions, issues, and feature requests are always welcome.
