These look great. The page says "Thousands of designers, developers, and content creators use HugeIcons Pro". Is this accurate? The project seems to have only about 493 downloads a week on NPM, and 194 GitHub stars. I would have expected a lot more given the number of people you claim are using the library.

(Edit: For clarification, the NPM stats refer to the number of times the library was fetched from NPM's servers, not the number of times a developer incorporated it into a project. For popular NPM libraries, this number can be in the many millions of downloads per week. My confusion stems from the fact a library used by thousands of projects will have substantially higher numbers in NPM than what is seen here. It is of course possible that this number counts developers incorporating these icons not through the NPM library.)

Hugeicons Pro has more than 50k regular users.

- Figma plugin has 23k users ( https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1209922740177393208/ )

- 40k Per month web-app users ( https://hugeicons.com/icons ) (you can check Similarweb)

Also we have free available Figma file with more than 20k users, Wordpress plugin, IconJar users and more.

Thanks for asking and happy to clarify this.

Whoa! Cool. I didn't see that earlier - nice.
493 a week sounds like thousands over a month no?
