Hey Creative people, I'm in the process of creating an icon library and I'm gearing up for the launch. However, I'm a bit stuck on what to include in the free version. What I have: · 6 Icon Styles: Line, Fill, Duotone, etc. · A total of 300+ icons across all styles. Which approach do you prefer? A. Offering the entire set of 300+ line icons for free B. Provide a selection of 100 basic icons from all 6 styles

I would advise using strategy B. I mention this because, as a result, people are more likely to use your icon library. If you give away the entire set of icons, users might utilise it less frequently since they won't know where to begin. By providing a number of basic icons, you're giving them a great place to start and assisting them in understanding the value of your icon library.
