Project Status

⚠️ Astro is still an early beta, missing features and bugs are to be expected! If you can stomach it, then Astro-built sites are production ready and several production websites built with Astro already exist in the wild. We will update this note once we get closer to a stable, v1.0 release.

🔧 Quick Start

Important: Astro is built with ESM modules which are not supported in older version of Node.js. The minimum supported version is 14.15.1.

# create your project
mkdir new-project-directory
cd new-project-directory
npm init astro
# install your dependencies
npm install
# start the dev server and open your browser

Unlike traditional tracking methods, this ID can be stored almost persistently and cannot be easily cleared by the user.

The tracking method works even in the browser’s incognito mode and is not cleared by flushing the cache, closing the browser or restarting the operating system, using a VPN or installing AdBlockers. 🍿 Live demo.

Tinycon

A small library for manipulating the favicon, in particular adding alert bubbles and changing images. Tinycon gracefully falls back to a number in title approach for browsers that don’t support canvas or dynamic favicons.

Documentation

Tinycon adds a single object to the global namespace and does not require initialization.

Installation

Install with your favorite package manager.

npm install tinycon --saveyarn add tinycon

Tinycon.setBubble(6);

Options

Tinycon can take a range of options to customize the look

  • height: the height of the alert bubble
  • font: a css string to use for the fontface (recommended to leave this)
  • color: the foreground font color
  • background: the alert bubble background color
  • fallback: should we fallback to a number in brackets for browsers that don’t support canvas/dynamic favicons? Boolean, or use the string ‘force’…

Or try it right away with the serverless boilerplates in /boilerplate/!

Contents

This repo is broken into 3 main parts: The actual library itself found in /src/, the documentation for it in /docs/, and the Handsfree Browser Extension in /extension/.

Quickstart

Installing from CDN

Note: models loaded from the CDN may load slower on the initial page load, but should load much faster once cached by the browser.

This option is great if you don’t have or need a server, or if you’re prototyping on a site like CodePen. You can also just download this repo and work with one…
