In plain words
Favicon Kit was a developer tool that extracted and embedded favicons from any website through a CDN and API. Designed for developers and designers who needed to programmatically access website icons, it simplified favicon retrieval for web projects. The tool is no longer maintained and has been officially retired as of March 2025.

From the sources
As of March 25, 2025, Favicon Kit is officially retired and archived. This project has been a labor of love, providing tools to simplify favicon extraction for developers and designers. However, I’ve made the tough decision to step away from maintaining it. Life moves forward, and so do priorities. I’m shifting my focus to other endeavors that demand my time and energy. On top of that, the monetary cost of keeping Favicon Kit running has grown beyond a "minor" expense. Maintaining it solo is no longer sustainable, as I need to redirect those funds elsewhere. A huge thanks to everyone who used Favicon Kit, contributed ideas, or spread the word. It’s been awesome seeing it help folks out…from faviconkit.com

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
