ShapeShifter is a web-based tool for creating and animating vector drawables and shape morphing animations for Android.

Pros

• Requires more manual work for creating custom animations compared to using pre-built icon sets in the other projects.

Note: The code example section is omitted as ShapeShifter is a web-based tool rather than a code library.

FortAwesome/angular-fontawesome is an official Font Awesome component library for Angular applications.
