Doesn’t work on iOS! Literally unplayable.
Jokes aside this is pretty neat. I feel like the concept of the favicon should be re-evaluated to consider the common use cases of today.
- Theodores 8y agoYou are right on your second point. I think that there needs to be a 'favimage' that works for everything including the original use case plus those personal web app icons, start menu tiles, Google search results, twitter cards, Facebook open graph images and other social media applications. If this new format was responsive SVG with image embeds then it should work fine on the many different canvas sizes.
- chronial 8y agoSVG is not very well suited for favicons. At that size, you often want to hand-tune the single pixels.
- ygra 8y agoShouldn't media queries along with shape-rendering be able to do that?

- waddlesplash 8y agoYep, it has LOD calculation features, so you can hide and show certain elements at smaller sizes so it always scales well.
- saltyshake 8y agoGoogle Search results would make it easier for scammers.
