What is Lucide?

Lucide is in a steady icon-addition cadence — eight minor releases in six weeks, mostly community PRs.

Lucide is releasing roughly twice a week along the 1.x line, with each minor adding 1–6 community-contributed icons (blender, broccoli, sticky note variants, repeat-off, waves-vertical, folder-bookmark, astroid, heart-x, layers-minus, bell-check) and refining existing ones (text-cursor, landmark, candy-cane, volleyball). Framework adapters (Svelte, Vue, Angular, React) receive small fixes alongside. There is no structural work in this window — it is a contributor-flow optimization.

What is Moqups?

Shipping enabling primitives, then stacking native UI kits on top; Figma-alternative pitch sharpens.

Moqups is alternating real feature ships with SEO-grade content, in roughly equal measure. February 2026 brought Resize Constraints and Bulk Transform; March added native iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits that explicitly depend on the new resize behavior. July 2025's release covered prototyping ergonomics — interaction indicators and hotspot controls — and December 2024 introduced page labels and comment styling.

5.0

Lucide is in a steady icon-addition cadence — eight minor releases in six weeks, mostly community PRs.

◆ Current state

Lucide is releasing roughly twice a week along the 1.x line, with each minor adding 1–6 community-contributed icons (blender, broccoli, sticky note variants, repeat-off, waves-vertical, folder-bookmark, astroid, heart-x, layers-minus, bell-check) and refining existing ones (text-cursor, landmark, candy-cane, volleyball). Framework adapters (Svelte, Vue, Angular, React) receive small fixes alongside. There is no structural work in this window — it is a contributor-flow optimization.

◆ Where it's heading

The project sits in healthy steady-state. Low-friction PR throughput, regular minor versions, and no large refactors suggest Lucide has settled into being the default fork-and-extend icon library for designers and the maintainers are protecting that contributor pipeline rather than pushing a roadmap. Framework adapter parity is being maintained in lockstep with the core icon set.

◆ Prediction

Expect another 1–2 icons (or refinement PRs) per minor over the next few weeks, plus a framework-adapter patch as upstream Svelte/Vite/Vue dependencies shift. No 2.0 cut is signaled in this window.

5.0

Shipping enabling primitives, then stacking native UI kits on top; Figma-alternative pitch sharpens.

◆ Current state

Moqups is alternating real feature ships with SEO-grade content, in roughly equal measure. February 2026 brought Resize Constraints and Bulk Transform; March added native iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits that explicitly depend on the new resize behavior. July 2025's release covered prototyping ergonomics — interaction indicators and hotspot controls — and December 2024 introduced page labels and comment styling.

◆ Where it's heading

Each release sets up the next: Resize Constraints existed in part so the UI kits would survive scaling, by the team's own admission. The product is being positioned as the lowest-friction wireframe-to-mockup tool for teams who find Figma too heavy — comparison posts (Figma alternatives, all-in-one vs specialized) reinforce that frame on the marketing side. Prototyping fidelity and collaborative editing are the two visible investment areas.

◆ Prediction

Expect more first-party stencil kits (web/Android variants are a natural next step) and continued small prototyping improvements layered on the new transform primitives. The Figma-alternative content cadence will keep pace with the release cadence.
