Fetch bookmark icons automatically...

[Jaxel]

Description

When you input a URL for a bookmark, you have to manually assign an image for the icon.

It would be convenient if at first, the system fetched the source of that URL and looked for <link rel="icon" or <link rel="apple-touch-icon" to find the default icon for that bookmark. If no icons are find, try to fetch /favicon.ico automatically.

Low (Nice-to-have)

I’m not exactly sure how we can do that. But I believe we could implement that. Although the favicons are usually 16x16 so it would look terrible when increased to your app icon.

Can you send me a direct example of that ?
Like example page, and header data linking to the app’s icon.
Also maybe some websites will have relative paths idk how to handle that (icon = ./public/icon.ico)

That's why I said favicons used be used as a fallback; only if an icon or apple-touch-icon are not found.

You can easily cURL the bookmarked page, and then run a regex for the icons.
