• Format export — download as PNG, WebP, or JPG
• Recent history — your last 6 lookups are saved in-session

Tech Stack

• Vite + React + TypeScript
• BoldKit neubrutalism components
• Serverless function as CORS proxy for the favicon API
• Google FaviconV2 API as the favicon source

Development

npm install
npm run dev

The Vite dev server proxies /api/favicon → t0.gstatic.com/faviconV2 automatically, so no environment variables are needed for local development.

How it works

1. User enters a domain or URL
2. The app fetches /api/favicon?url=DOMAIN&size=SIZE via a serverless proxy
3. The proxy fetches from Google's FaviconV2 API and returns it with proper CORS headers
4. The browser draws the image onto a <canvas> to convert it to the chosen format, then triggers a download
