Feather icon set is deprecated and buggy, we probably need to switch to its successor is Lucide

[Noitidart]

Summary

I'm not sure if this is bug or feature request. But Feather icons is deprecated end of life, many requests to fix bugs, etc are falling flat. To fix the bugs with the feather icon set (like not showing right depending on DPI of phone), we may not want outdated things in expo and instead uses it successor.

Minimal reproducible example

One of the many bugs with Feather is seen here - https://icons.expo.fyi/Feather/chrome - with high DPI you will see glitches -

Hello @Noitidart,

@expo/vector-icons is only a compatibility wrapper around react-native-vector-icons package, we do not control the source.

Any feature requests or bug reports related to the content should be reported directly in react-native-vector-icons repository.
