    Hello, My name is Yahia, I've been working on scraping products for a long time and maintain a couple of free sites in my spare time (E.g. knifegeek.io) What prompted this is i've rebuilt scraping infra at every company I've started and finally just made it a product. Pass a URL, get clean markdown, html, images, sitemap or pass a domain, get logos, colors, socials, industry data. Goal is to offer a better service than VC funded competitors at a fraction of the cost. Stealth is included and automatic at no additional cost (normally an upcharge by alternatives). Would love your honest thoughts.

    Hey HN, We couldn’t find a reliable favicon provider for our CRM [1]. There are existing solutions (FaviconKit, Google faviconV2, ...) but we have faced issues with all of them: rate-limiting, down-time, inconsistent icon size. We were looking for a solution that is: 1) reliable: no down-time ; 2) accurate: request a specific icon size to optimize for user bandwidth ; 3) high-quality: that provides the highest resolution icon available for a given requested size ; 4) open-source: this is a common need and a simple problem to solve: an open solution should exist and anybody should be able to…

This library also falls back to the standard number in page title approach for browsers that do no support canvas / dynamic favicons. Thoughts welcome.
