Interesting service. I am building a bookmarking app that needs to load a lot of favicons.
There are libraries like this: https://github.com/zongyz/get-website-favicon https://github.com/zongyz/get-website-favicon, but I suppose your service is even easier to use.
The big feature I would be interested in is being able to load multiple favicons at the same time as a sprite sheet: loading favicons one-at-a-time is very slow and inefficient.
An example of a site that caches favicons as a sprite sheet is https://www.bkmks.com/ https://www.bkmks.com/
- fiiv 5y agoWhoa, I hadn't thought of a sprite sheet, but that's a great idea actually. It shouldn't be too hard to generate one of these. How many favicons in one sheet are you thinking?
- Leftium 5y agoI don't know... but a lot! I have 1500+ bookmarks: https://instant.leftium.com/ https://instant.leftium.com/ And here's what my bkmks.com spritesheet looks like: https://i.imgur.com/dgoBEC4.png https://i.imgur.com/dgoBEC4.png
