I built a tiny favicon audit tool that quietly saves your brand from looking sloppy

Today I scratched an itch that’s bugged me for years: broken, half-done favicons on otherwise beautiful sites.

You know that feeling when you ship a new site, polish the hero copy, tweak the animations… and then you open it on a random device and the tab icon is missing, blurry, or just wrong? It’s such a tiny detail, but it quietly screams “unfinished”.

So I built favicon.love a simple favicon + manifest audit that runs across desktop, mobile, and PWA in one go. It checks for things like missing icons, Apple touch setup, SVG support, and more, without you having to memorize yet another favicon checklist.

The part I’m most excited about: you can trigger instant audits programmatically just by appending a query param:

/check?url=example.com

That means you can drop it into CI, staging reviews, or even bulk-scan a portfolio of client domains and instantly see which ones have favicon gaps. No more “I’ll remember to fix that later” (which we all know really means “never”).

If you want to see how clean your own favicon setup is, you can try it here:
favicon.love/check

Would love feedback from other builders:

  • What’s missing from the audit?
  • What would make this easier to plug into your CI or agency workflow?
  • Any favicon edge cases you’ve been bitten by before?

I built a platform for founders who are tired of their launches disappearing into the void

I've been building SaaS products for years now. And if there's one thing that never stopped stinging me, it was shipping something I genuinely believed in, only to crickets.

No matter how good it was. No matter how many nights I spent on it.

That's how GreenRocket started.

I couldn't shake the feeling that there are hundreds probably thousands of founders like me, shipping products at 2 AM, hoping someone will notice. Hoping for a single bit of traction. And most launch platforms don't really care. They're pay-to-play, algorithm-caged, or just so saturated that your work gets buried before anyone even sees it.

So I asked myself: what if there was a place built by builders, for builders? Where visibility isn't bought, it's earned. Where feedback isn't a shallow upvote, but honest conversations from people who actually understand what it takes to build something from nothing.

That's what GreenRocket is.

- Community-driven voting, not corporate curation

- Real discussions with actual builders, not bots or hype

- No hidden fees, no promoted posts, no algorithmic suppression

- Just a space where your launch has a real shot at being seen

We've already got 100+ launches, 90+ builders, and 2,200+ upvotes on the platform. But honestly, I'm not here to flex numbers. I'm here hoping this might help someone who, like me a few months ago, is staring at a finished product wondering if it'll ever see the light of day.

If that's you, come check it out. Launch something. Upvote something you love. Leave honest feedback.

Would love to hear what you think.

I love when AI actually understands my visual style, not just my words.

I’ve been using a new kulay page that scans a site’s stylesheets and turns colours, type, and spacing into a simple DESIGN.md file for my projects.

Now, instead of dumping hex codes into every prompt, I just share DESIGN.md with my coding agents and say “use this design system” and the results stay on brand without me micromanaging every UI detail.

Feels a lot closer to having a collaborator who actually gets my aesthetic.

I built DotsLife because I realized I've already lived 2,184 weeks of my life... and I have no idea where most of them went.

If you're like me, constantly shipping, fixing bugs at 2am, answering support emails between meetings, it probably feels like time is just slipping through your fingers.

The average person gets around 4,200 weeks. If you're 30, you've burned through about half already. If you're 40, you've got maybe ~2,000 left.

That's 2,000 weeks to finish that side project.

2,000 weeks to actually be with the people who matter.

2,000 weeks to do the thing you keep saying you'll do "someday."

Every dot is a week of your life.

I built DotsLife because spreadsheets and to-do lists weren't cutting it anymore. I needed to see my life not as an endless scroll of days, but as a finite grid of dots I'm spending, one by one.

Each dot is a week where you can journal, track how you felt, and log what you worked on. But more importantly, you see how many you've lived and how many you (statistically) have left. It's motivating and a little terrifying by design.

For founders and builders: we obsess over funnels, MRR, and deploys, but ignore the only metric that actually runs out: time.

DotsLife isn't about hustle guilt. It's about perspective. Asking yourself: "Is this week, this one dot, going toward something that actually matters?"

You don't get the dots back.

Free, privacy-first, and built for people who are too busy building to notice how fast life is moving.
