This is fantastic. The exercises are non-trivial enough to be useful. One minor suggestion: if you can have the favicon set to your gopher, it can be great. Mine is a potentially narrow use case, but after logging in, I pinned this to a tab in safari, and the G throws me off a little.

Pinned tabs actually have their own icon: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Ap...
Thanks. I'll have to go create an icon for this. So many custom icon formats :\

Edit: I believe I have an icon set here now. I might need to tweak it but it should work in the meantime.

I recently got turned onto RealFaviconGenerator.net after researching the various icon formats I might need to support and finding a nice in-depth stack overflow answer [1] from the author of that website. I would be surprised if it did NOT support pinned images.

This is indeed the site I used to fix the issue :)
Thanks! Can you possibly email me a screenshot so I can fix it? jon [at] calhoun.io
Sent. First world problem admittedly.
