So I have favicon generation up and running on the express server, but it comes with a pretty harsh dependency that requires cairo on the server. The generator is in coffee script and uses a canvas like api, so it should be pretty straightforward to get it working in the browser, so that if the client gets a 404 on the favicon it can download it, generate it's own and then try and put it to the server. Is there any interest in this? Or should we keep it as a server side thing, and i'll look for a lighter way to generate them in node?
