Thank you 💗💗,
You can add Darker in color section, it's tool to generate shades and tints
My partner and I just released a brand new open source icon library that works with different frameworks like React, Vue and Svelte. You can find additional features on Circum Icons to make the integration easier, like building arrays, copy individual component tag, etc.
If you want something more unique and less popular! 😊
Let me know if you have any suggestions or improvements that we should do.
You should also take a look at Penpot as an alternative to Figma
It is actually quite helpful and beneficial to have a few free examples on hand. I have found UIHUT to be useful. I use it for web design and graphic design projects
