Description
Hi everyone!Tim here, maintainer of the lucide-motion-vue library. I build this as a way to use nice animated icons in my webapps. We were already on lucide, and found animate-ui animated icons as a great collection, unfortunately React only or made to be used with shadcn.So I ported the library to Vue, and combined it with another library (lucide-animated.com). As both libraries dont share the same animations and/or icons, this creates the largest animated icons library for vue that can be used from one source.Additionally, I've made several quality of live changes to make it easier to use the icons: - drop-in replacement for lucide icons, or use a seperate namespace if you want - several animation variants - easy to be used standalone or in buttons - several animation triggers - comprehensive overview, playground and docs page, comes with llms.txt to be used by agentsFinally, the repo also contains a "forge". With this, you cana) take any icon from the lucide library, or have ai suggest some b) autogenerate animations for these icons c) add them to the library with one clickWe'll use the forge over time to hopefully create animated variants for all of lucides icons, if these icons are useful to be animated.Looking forward to hear your feedback Cheers!

Could you build this?
Yes Porting an existing Lucide icon library to Vue 3 with CSS or Motion animations is routine component templating that AI tools excel at.
Discussion
18 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: animate-ui, lucide-animated, RadixVue, ShadcnVue, itshover-vue
Concerns raised: Many animations are too basic (simple zoom/enlarge with no purpose), Some animations don't match their icon meaning (droplet outline draw vs expected fill, flame drawn vs licking motion), Animations triggered only on hover, not other triggers, Mobile experience needs improvement, Attribution clarity regarding LLM use vs manual work
Feature requests: Raw SVG code copy option, Native browser back button support instead of close button, Differentiate custom animations from generic ones (two buckets), Apply generic animations to any icon, More complex/meaningful animations for relevant icons
