Today I began building a native icon manager app for Linux.
On MacOS, I relied on IconJar to select icon sets that fitted different visual styles. It also gave me lightning-fast access to glyphs I would use over and over again, like arrows and chevrons.
While we have Norde Source for Linux, sadly:
- It crashes when you click-and-drag an icon
- It's slow to load
- It hasn't been updated in 4 years
Let's see where this goes!

The UI is coming along, bit by bit! Building templates is coming a bit more naturally too.

Today I managed to:
- load a directory of icons into the app. Even with 2000+ icons in the grid it's not too sluggish!
- add a right-click context menu
- invert the icons in dark mode
- show the details of the selected icon in the sidebar
- get the sidebar toggle button working

Will need to pick someone's brain on why the SVGs are rendered blurry at some point. (They're in GtkImage widgets with a set pixel-size)

@Erendogu06 Yes, although the code is very much a work-in-progress: https://github.com/azuredusk10/IconManager
