Show HN: Use Emojis for Favicons (emojifavicon.dev)

2 points by timz ↗ HN
Use quickly emojis as favicons for your HTML pages and Websites.

Just search and copy the html code to head. Handy for your side-projects to replace the default ones.

Pretty nice project. I can see this being useful for a variety of sites and pages

Just a minor quibble: the "Search" button doesn't need to be present since the results update as you type. Also to that point, you may want to debounce the inputs to the search bar because they load images with each keypress

Are you worried about pages using favicons that are hosted on your domain?

Thank you for your comments, really appreciate it.

Yes, the search button is not needed, since we live show the results which are searched in memory. Removed.

Wanted to keep the speedy results as you type, so instead of debouncing for the preview now the native emojis rendered as chars are shown, not images.

If there is much traffic, there must be ways to optimise image serving, unless you have other concerns.

Let me know please if you see other ways to improve this small project.

Thanks for responding to the feedback. That's really cool

I don't have any other major feedback. Overall, this is really slick and responsive

Awesome project.. open source it! :)
