- Sentence used in the article: This is literally the only place that I made use of the SwiftIcons library but I thought it would be beneficial to show off a cool library that makes working with icons absolutely awesome.

If you are using SwiftIcons in your app and want to be listed here, simply create a new issue here.

I am always curious who is using my projects 😊
