https://font2png.com to create PNGs from icon fonts like Font Awesome. SVGs are usually the way to go, but sometimes you need a PNG. A previous tool that did the same went away, so I built my own.

Also https://frt.rip, a whoopie cushion with spatial audio, because I had the domain lying around.

Both don't make money, but they also have no users besides myself so they can run on my cheap server for free basically.

This may be the most magnificent phrase I have ever read on the internet.

But when I visit in Firefox (mostly vanilla, on Pop!OS), a scary warning pops up that the site is trying to do something to my machine, with no context of what. I presume that "spatial audio" requires some support beyond just whatever my browser already knows how to do, but.... what?

Hey, it works with no warnings on my phone! Oh, and that audio is glorious. Juicy. Extravagant.

This is going on my smallest most concealable Bluetooth speaker...

Thanks. The spatial audio is just a feature of the excellent https://howlerjs.com/.

But I added MIDI keyboard support to the secret fart piano recently and thus Firefox throws up a scary warning. It's now disabled unless you access https://frt.rip#midi. But you can also use your computer keyboard to play/fart a little tune, see Web Inspector for instructions :)

Would you consider an extra slider for the corner radius? That would allow to download icons with a background which is not completely square, but also a squircle or circle (maximum corder radius).

Alright, the background can now have rounded corners with smoothing / squircles like in iOS, using Figmas algorithm. Thanks for the suggestion! → https://font2png.com

Nice! Thank you for taking the request and for the fast turnaround.

Good idea. I never really use the background color, but since it's there, a corner radius makes sense. I'll play around with that soon.
