Published my first JetBrains plugin!

Google recently introduced Material Symbols, its latest icon set that merges multiple glyphs into a single font file.

Currently, the recommended approach is to download and use SVGs directly from Google Fonts. This helps reduce build time when compared to using the core Material Icons or Material Icons Extended libraries.

To make this process easier, I’ve built an IntelliJ plugin for Android Studio called “Material Symbols”. It lets you browse, customize, and download the required icons — right from within Android Studio.

This is my first time creating an IntelliJ plugin, and it’s been a great learning experience exploring the plugin development ecosystem.

I would love for you to give it a try and share any feedback or suggestions for improvements or new features!
