Over the past few weeks, I’ve been quietly working on improving Viconic — a project I’ve been building to make working with icons simpler and more enjoyable.
Originally, the project lived at viconic.io.vn. It worked well, especially for local usage. But since I’m based in Vietnam, I often discuss projects with friends and other developers here — and one piece of advice kept coming up:
“If you want better SEO and a more global presence, you should move to a .dev domain.”
At first, I didn’t think it would make a huge difference. But the more I looked into it — branding, trust, and discoverability — the more it made sense.
So I decided to make the switch 👉 https://viconic.dev
It’s a small change on the surface, but it feels like a step toward building something more global.
A Better UI with Multiple Themes
One thing I’ve always cared about is how tools feel to use — not just what they do.
So in this update, I introduced multiple color themes to make the experience more flexible and personal.
Available themes include:
- Blue
- Red
- Orange
- Amber
- Teal
- Purple
- Rose
Instead of being locked into a single look, users can now choose what fits their style or mood.
In the image, you can see how switching themes instantly changes the tone of the interface. It’s a small detail, but it makes the product feel more alive.
Viconic Plugin (Early but Promising)
Alongside the website, I’ve also started working on the Viconic Plugin — currently focused on integrating with Figma.
Right now, it’s still in a very early stage, but it already supports:
Browsing icon collections
Searching icons quickly
Clicking an icon to instantly insert it into Figma
The goal is simple: reduce friction.
Instead of downloading SVGs, copying code, or switching between tabs — everything should happen in one smooth flow.
There’s still a lot to improve, but this is the first step.
What I Learned From This Update
This update isn’t just about features — it’s also about learning:
- Small branding decisions matter (like choosing the right domain)
- User experience is more than functionality
- Start simple, iterate fast — especially with plugins
🤔 What Should I Build Next?
I’m still exploring the direction for Viconic, and I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts:
- Should I focus more on the plugin ecosystem or keep improving the web platform?
- What would make this tool part of your daily workflow?
- Would you prefer deeper Figma integration or support for tools like VS Code?
- Do UI themes actually matter to you, or are they just a nice bonus?
