Nice idea. Especially handy for when you just need something quick to polish a demo. The playground is great too.

Not really sure this needs to be a service, but it would be great to download the favico directly from the playground. It would also be cool to have gradient colors.

Hey there, very nice project! One thing that might be worth it would be to vectorize completely the fonts instead of loading a complete font. It might be very big to download a font for such a small favicon. What do you think?

I managed to do it by hand using danmarshall.github.io/google-font-.... Thanks

Ahah you got me good here lol! I wish I could spend time on your project but I know it would be bad for the current other projects I am maintaining / working on. Next time I need a favicon I might just try to do it yep!

In fact I am super busy with other stuff too. I'd be really happy to see this feature coming to faviator tho! Happy to help anyone who would like to pick this up too. 😁
