Rusticon is a mouse driven SVG favicon editor for your terminal.

It creates, and then edits svg images that can be used as website favicons (i.e. the little icons that appear at the top tabs etc.). Icons can be 8 pixels by 8 pixels, or 16 pixels by 16 pixels, utilizing 256 colors.

It's written in Rust.

Pre built binaries are provided for each release.

Rusticon is published as a crate on crates.io. If you have Cargo, you can install it with

cargo install rusticon

You will be able to invoke the binary as rusticon.
