A real-time dot-matrix icon renderer that converts any icon into customizable dot grids exportable as SVG
A small creative experiment I designed and vibe coded from scratch using TypeScript, Vite and AI-assisted development in VS Code. What started as a simple idea became a surprisingly useful tool through lots of experimentation, iteration and utility refinement.
Built with TypeScript, Vite and AI-assisted coding in VS Code. No big plan or lengthy process. Just an idea, lots of experimentation and a focus on making something fun, intuitive and genuinely useful.
Don’t reinvent the wheel
I leaned on familiar creative-tool patterns, making controls easy to find, understand and use.
Make room to play
I wanted the freedom to experiment with multiple icons, canvas sizes and styles without starting over.
Keep experimentation effortless
Every adjustment should feel immediate, encouraging exploration rather than interrupting the creative process.
The output is a unique playful icon set that anyone can make
