I've been using [Heroicons](https://heroicons.com/) for a while now and I wanted to be able to generate the icons I needed without having to download the whole package. + +On top of practicing the stack, I also wanted to practice building in public. I've been following [Pieter Levels](https://levels.io/) for a while now and I really like the idea of building in public. I've been doing it for a while now on Twitter and I wanted to take it a step further by building a website where I could share my progress. + +## What is the stack? + +As state I wanted to practice more with the T3 stack, I wanted to learn and use tRPC. I use NextAuth for the auth and Supabase for the DB. I've been using TailwindCSS for a while now and I really like it, so I wanted to use it for this project as well. I use Dalle for the AI portion and have learn a lot about prompt engineering as well. + +Stripe integration for the payment method. + +## What is the status? + +Icongen is now having more then 130 user, 1600 icons generated at the time of the writting. I've been able to learn alot. + +## What is next? + +I would like to continue improving the site and add more features. I'm also practicing and trying to improve the SEO. I will go over the SEO portion in another post.
