I'm sure this isn't exactly what you're asking for but this website is worth a visit.

This sounds like a centralized BitTorrent.

Opening this website in Chrome on my Android device gives me the "ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID" error.
Checking the certificate details, I found out that the certificate is issued to the organization "OpenDNS, Inc." I use OpenDNS's family safety DNS.
I don't think that TOR is owned by OpenDNS. Is it possibly that OpenDNS is MITMing me like previously Avast was reported? But how is that possible? I don't have any OpenDNS software installed that could change certificates.

I created this favicon generator a few weeks ago to generate minimal favicons for my side projects. I'm not good with design tools so it saves me time when I start a new project and want a simple favicon in ICO format.
I'm proud of it because it's server-less. I generate the multi-BMP ICO file in binary using ArrayBuffers and Typed Arrays in JavaScript. I use a <canvas> element to create the images/design.
It's not very polished and I'm sure there are bugs, but feedback would be appreciated!
You can use
<input type=color>
to make color selection more flexible.
Seriously, stop this. Sometimes you just need to admit you have no idea what you're talking about and shut up.
The author honestly thinks using Preact or Inferno could protect them from patent lawsuits. Oh, wait, maybe "Facebook holds any software patents on the Virtual DOM or the React APIs" so better use Vue and Cycle.
Unless you actually know
1) which patents Facebook holds and
2) which patents are relevant to each framework/library (i.e. React and various its alternatives)
stop giving people legal advice about which library they should be using.
The cosmic irony would be if Facebook didn't hold any patents covering React to begin with but DID hold patents covering parts of Angular, Ember, Vue and Preact, over which they can sue who they like because Facebook never gave them a patent grant for those. Sounds far-fetched? It isn't because we don't know which actual patents these could be and who holds them.
Or for all you know Google might sue you. Or Apple.
This isn't a discussion, this is literally just a bunch of nerds ranting on the Internet about problems they don't sufficiently understand, playing Three Blind Men with the elephant that is Software Patents.
This isn't highly relevant but it can be a probable cause for bias.
