Small update from the Clustta design side: @Linda Ojo has been building out a custom icon library for the app. Not live yet, still a work in progress, but wanted to share some of the process.
There are genuinely great libraries out there, but no single one ever covers everything. Some metaphor you need exists in one pack and is just missing (or awkwardly represented) in another. So up until now we've been cobbling icons together from a few different sources, which works, but it means subtle inconsistencies in stroke weight, corner radius, etc.
Building a custom set fixes that at the root. Every icon shares the same visual language, and if a metaphor we need doesn't exist yet, we just draw it instead of hunting for a substitute. Sharing a preview of where things stand, more to come as this makes its way into the actual product.
