Crumbicon is a mouse driven icon 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 Crumb.
Pre built binaries are provided for each release.
Note: *-macos-15.tar.gz is for Apple Silicon, *-macos-13.tar.gz is for Intel CPU.
Building the app and toolchain from from source can be done locally, or within a Docker container that has a mounted volume to save drawn icons.
