Consider using SVG for default favicon about rails-template HOT 4 OPEN

we should choose a random emoji https://twitter.com/LeaVerou/status/1241619866475474946

from rails-template.

maybe our approach for predefining a range of icons in the template needs to be further thought about

should the template be defining icons or icons that 404? should we insist on a favicon.ico at root for various tools? (strava apparently does this)

we should probably not supply default generic icons as the various defaults when things are missing are better than explicitly defining something wrong

from rails-template.

maybe we should have comments with todos for here is where your icon goes

from rails-template.

Do browsers still cache old icons for ages? I think our advice should include making sure that your icon has a fingerprint in the filename and not to rely on default /favicon.* naming to avoid these issues.

Overall I am not in favour of us adding a default favicon. I am in favour of us maybe adding a helpful comment near where they would add it.
