Objections
AI icon generator returns unrelated icons for most prompts.
From 4 comments
The AI feature seems to just generate random icons unrelating to the input.
finger on HNnot parent, but I entered "police station" as a test and got a bunch of unrelated icons

sunshine_reggae on HNThis app just crashes when I tried to change the Icon after some tapping around ... ... which does not give me huge confidence in anything shipped with the "ship as much in as…
jdthedisciple on HNThere must be a memory leak in the icon picker. It eats more than 1.5 GB.

Requests
Let users set a letter or word with the icon.
From 1 comment
The most common "simple" icon is a word mark and background. Would be nice if you could set a word and font (say, for instance, the letter X) in addition to the icon selection.

jasongill on HNA cool experiment. If you're a startup, do not use logo-generation services. You all look the same to me. Find a strong brand/graphic (not UX/UI) designer to partner with over…
