[UXUI] Evaluate alternative icon sets #637

Open glenflorendo opened 8 months ago

glenflorendo commented 8 months ago

User Story

As a developer, I want to improve the performance and reduce unnecessary dependencies in our web application by evaluating and implementing the Heroicons icon library as a replacement for the bulky Material UI icon sets.

This change aligns with our goal of optimizing our codebase and enhancing the user experience.

Description

We are currently using the Material UI icon sets for our web application, which are bulky and require us to import the Material UI library, even though we do not use it extensively. This leads to unnecessary overhead and increased bundle size.

Heroicons, created by the makers of Tailwind CSS, offer a lightweight and customizable set of icons that align well with our existing use of Tailwind CSS. By switching to Heroicons, we can improve performance and streamline our codebase.
