317,000 🎉 I poured money into Google Ads, Meta Ads, influencer posts. Almost all of it failed. But we kept showing up anyway. Today, Hugeicons crossed 317,000 weekly npm downloads. And if I include Figma file and plugin users, CDN users, and React users, Hugeicons has now crossed 0.6 million total users across free and paid. A few failures, and what worked for us so far 👇 I started freelancing in 2015. A few years ago, I shifted my focus almost entirely to Hugeicons. It took years of work, consistency, learning, and failed experiments. At first, I wasn't even sure X would work for us. I wasn't active there before and didn't use it daily. But my team and I kept showing up anyway, on X and across other social platforms like Linkedin and Facebook. But X is the most important one. I guess almost all the designers and devs know us via X. Some posts got only a few likes. Some did well. But we kept going. We kept posting, testing, improving, and trying to stay visible. We tried Google Ads, X Ads, Meta Ads, influencer marketing, and paid promotional posts. In some months, I poured almost everything into ads and got close to zero return. A lot of money, effort, and energy went into things that simply did not work. But we kept going. A team of 20 people worked on Hugeicons across SEO, content, icon design, development, testing, research, and growth. SEO has also been doing well for us. As a founder, I'd say don't skip SEO content. Slowly, more developers started choosing Hugeicons because of the quality, beauty, and care behind the product. Today, Hugeicons is used by Fiverr, Hyundai, Shadcn, YC & YC startups, and giant teams around the world. It has also been recognized by Framer, Figma, Webflow, and other names we deeply respect. For me, 317,000 is more than a growth number. It proves that consistency compounds. It proves that showing up keeps opening doors. If you are a founder, keep going. Even when things feel slow. Even when experiments fail. If you keep building, keep learning, and keep showing up, doors open. Grateful for every person who trusted Hugeicons Icon Library. Still learning. Still building.
