A few useful resources that you may need when developing

Hello to everyone!

As an interface developer, you've probably struggled to find images, svgs, or icons to add to your app, and sometimes the images you have are high-resolution, which takes a long time to draw when the website is rendered, making it difficult for the website to work, or can't find high-quality images.

Here are a few resources you may need when developing your app.

1. Free Icons
Icons are known to express some information while providing good UI. These are used in many websites and as a frontend developer you probably need them in any website you'll be making. Here are some free icons resources.
