Install like shadcn
No npm icon packs.
No runtime dependency lock-in.
No black-box components.
With Anicon, you add icons the same way you add shadcn components — generate or copy the icon component into your codebase and customize it freely.
What makes it different
<ol>
<li>SVG Path Animations (Not Just Transforms)</li>
</ol>
Animations are built using path-level motion, stroke manipulation, and morphing — not generic scale/rotate effects.
<ol>
<li>Motion with Meaning</li>
</ol>
A rocket launches.
A star draws itself.
A search icon reacts with intent.
Each animation reflects the semantics of the icon.
<ol>
<li>Built for Modern React Apps</li>
</ol>
Works seamlessly in React/Next.js
Clean SVG output
Fully customizable once installed
No external icon runtime
Why This Approach
Owning your UI primitives improves:
Performance control
Customization flexibility
Long-term maintainability
Anicon combines that ownership model with expressive micro-interactions.

Anicon is an animated SVG icon library that follows the shadcn installation pattern—copy icon components directly into your codebase instead of using npm packages. Icons feature path-level animations (morphing, stroke manipulation) rather than simple transforms, with semantically meaningful motion like rockets launching or stars drawing themselves. The approach prioritizes ownership, customization, and avoiding runtime dependencies while providing expressive micro-interactions for React and Next.js applications.
