How did you cote the Pixel icon library website without learn code (thanks, AI Index!)

As a designer, you are always fascinated by the intersection of design and technology. The gap between the designer and the developer has always sparked my attention – I have never expected it to cross soon.

The Pixel Icon Library of Hackernoon has started as a fun design project to create pixel icons that acquired the essence of nostalgia into the Hackernoon design language – but convert the Figma design file to a completely working website? This was not on my 2025 card until I discovered the artificial intelligence index. When getting the library open through GitHub, Xfigma and NPM, we always wanted to make these symbols within the reach of society. The idea was simple: Let’s build a website where designers and developers can browse these symbols and research and download these symbols for their projects.

Challenge? I had experience literally in coding.

Enter the AI ​​Index, a symbol editor working in the IQ of artificial intelligence, which soon became a guide and evidence throughout this trip. Here is the way I have pushed the design of the design to the full position with the help of Amnesty International and some serious coding.

Starting from scratch

The first step was to determine what I wanted to build and evaluate what I already had:

• A library of pixel icons in SVG format.
• Figma design for the site.
• A list of the features I wanted on the site.
• Certainly there is no idea how to bring it to life.

I started preparing a web branch on the Pixel ICON Library warehouse. Then I installed the artificial intelligence indicator, and the start was amazingly clear.

Preparing the project with the artificial intelligence index

After installing the indicator, the next thing was to check:

• I missed – To control the issue
• node.js – For NPM package

With the necessities of necessities, it is time to heat my hand. I cloned the crosso to my regime, opened the project folder in the AI, and started a conversation with the integrated artificial intelligence assistant.

After I got a strong experience with Claude, I chose Claude 3.7 Sonnet in the agent’s position to guide me during the operation.

With the first wave, I briefly explained what I wanted to create the required features and include them alongside the basic structure of the project, and requested suggestions on the framework (framework) to determine the priorities of efficiency and speed. The index helped in the necessary folder structure and suggest that I adhere to the project HTML & Tailwind. He even created the files required to start the project. Here is how this folder structure takes care of:

├── index.html

├── src/

│ ├── style.css

│ ├── output.css

├── assets/

├── fonts/

├── scripts/

The next step was to prepare Wairwind and start the user interface.

Preparation CSS Tailwind and User Equita Shipping

For my amazement, the code spoiled the installation of Tailwind and mixed orders from Tailwind V3.4 and V4.0. So, it’s time for me to escalate! I went to Tailwindcss fixing documents and followed these steps:

• To install Tailwind, open and run the device:

  npm install tailwindcss @tailwindcss/cli

• To prepare the construction process, run:

  npx @tailwindcss/cli -i ./src/style.css -o ./src/output.css --watch

Once WAIRWIND is installed and the chapters are ready for use, it started to identify the colors, lines and other atoms of the artificial intelligence factor before building more complex molecules, objects, and pages according to my Figma design.

Next, I installed the NPM Library Icon Pixel package to use the symbols in the project. Here are steps to install the NPM package:

For the user interface, I followed an approach to each element to keep things to organize and make it easy to return to the previous repetition if necessary.

This is the arrangement:

• Nav tape
• Spinning
• Champion section
• Search bar
• Icon and network cards
• Conditional individual icon

I have been keen to determine pregnancy, margins, half -diameter, colors, and dimensions for all of these elements, with the addition of permits and clicking as well. In addition to the CSS properties, you also included behavior and responsive reactions in claims.

I icon to challenge data and implement search jobs

With user interface elements, it is time for real challenge: display all symbols with their details – icon name, symbol type name, SVG symbol with smooth search jobs. To overcome this, the index suggested an organized approach:

• Create a JSON file with symbolic identification data and SVG code
• Download data from Json to view it efficiently.
• Implementation of the research based on the name of the icon.
• Add search filters based on the signs of the type of icon-solid, regular, brands/social media-blessings, Purcats

To continue to automate this process, I asked Cursor to create a text program to add all icon data to the /Data/icons.json file.

Now, with searches, search filters in place, and making conditional icon as intended, all that remains to do was adding remaining reactions to the user interface, comprehensive test, and publishing!

Publishing and beyond

Once you are happy with the user interface community and tested every function completely, it’s time to the next challenge – post !!!

Since the project was a fixed location, I needed a hosting solution that was fast, free and easy to maintain. Gaytap pages were irrational! Show:

• Smooth integration with GitHub Replo, which makes publishing without effort.
• It is free for use and most appropriate for fixed projects like this.
• The updates are very easy – all you need is commitment!

But before I can pay all my code to the warehouse and publishing via GitHub pages, you need to clean the code and check any production problems. After a quick and back with the indicator, and some adjustments, everything was ready to launch!

Here’s all you have to do to post your project via GitHub pages:

• Pay all your code to GitHub Repo and make sure it is general
• Enabling GitHub pages to return the ribo
  • Go to Settings
  • Click Pages
  • hiring branch For “Website(The branch where your symbol is. In my case, it was in the site branch)
  • Click Preserve
• My choice:
  • Add your allocated field (as I used: pixeliconlibary.com)
  • DNS composition (thanks to Richard to help me with this)
• Wait a few minutes and your website will be directly!

A producer is proud of it

From designing pixel art icons to coding on my way to a fully working site, this project pushed me beyond my comfort area in the best possible way. If we looked back, it was more than just building a website – it was related to the expansion of creative agreements and realizes that with artificial intelligence, the line between design and development is not clear ever. For me, it seems that the endless road has been opened to my eyes.
