  There are so many icons, how do you use this in a real world setting? 🔗

  
Open 2 tabs, 1 you can drop in all the icons, then copy into the other tab, delete the unused, then re-arrange as-needed.

  Why are the shapes not each in their own library component? 🔗

  
When I used other libraries on excalidraw, it was difficult to see the shape from the thumbnail/preview. Without a search feature, I found myself dragging and dropping each shape 1-by-1 to find the one I was looking for. The shapes here are loosely-grouped. This (ideally) makes the icons easier to find and copy in to any system design.
