This is my week-end project. I needed this for another project that shows a list of website.

Showing the favicon of websites can be surprisingly hard if you want it to be more than just blindly grabbing website.com/favicon.ico.

This is built on Cloudflare Workers.

I expected something like

https://favicon.show/?letter=L">

Do you cache the favicons, or do you call the site each time?
