I tried it in Firefox and Chrome, but changing the SVG shape did not change the favicon displayed on the tab. I don't think I understand what you meant. PS: This submission of mine is at least a day old, but it now shows as posted about 3 hours ago; I presume this is because it is from the second-chance pool.
I think they meant it as a feature suggestion (given that it should be easy to implement since SVG files can be used as favicons).

Re: SVG Path Editor
#22I use this often when I need to work with individual path commands, it’s a great tool!
Before stumbling upon this tool, I've spent a lot of time tweaking SVP paths in "mostly manual" files in other projects, it's a recurring theme for me. I was delegating the more interesting paths to Inkscape or similar, but keeping the basic structure handwritten. This tool would have made my life so much easier!

#23Very cool! I wish more editors would exist as web services, easily solving the cross-platformity that way.
I'm in the opposite camp. Give me some local tool that does disappear when the maintainer moves to the next thing. Well and I can eat the cake as well, make it some native app that has proper performance.
This is open source, so whether or not it's a web app should make no difference here

#24Does it support converting between line segments and bezier curves smoothly?

#25I have tried to use ChatGPT and Google's Gemini to make SVG from simple logos bitmaps but its still a daunting task for them, so I guess tools like this one will still be needed for a while.
If you search for ‘vectorization AI’ there are a handful of specialized tools and apis that can do it. It worked well for a handful of logos I wanted to convert. Nano banana generated the raster logos, and these other tools vectorized them

You can instruct it to make edits, or say "Use SVG gradients for the windows" and so on and you can further iterate on the SVG.
It can be frustrating at times, but the end result was worth it for me.
Though for some images I've done 2-3 roundtrips manual editing, Nano Banana, svgai.org ...
The advantage is that it produces sane output paths that I can edit easily for final manual touches in Inkscape.
Some of the other "AI" tools are often just simply algorithms for bitmap->vector and the paths/curves they produce are harder to work with, and also give a specific feel to the vector art..

Even inkscape can do this
