Zany – Favicon API

In plain words

Zany is a favicon API that automatically handles favicon requests for web applications, eliminating the common 404 console error when a favicon is missing. Built as a developer tool, it provides a simple solution to manage the small icon file that appears in browser tabs without requiring manual favicon setup. The service is designed for developers who want to skip the hassle of creating and configuring favicon files for their projects.

  Open-Source Favicon Provider2023 · github.com · ▲14

  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…

  Hi 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…
