This is a fun project you might try if you have time off in the next few weeks. The idea is to create a favicon that changes automatically. A favicon is the little image your website displays in the browser tab - mine is usually a sparrow head, but sometimes a gRSShopper logo. Changing the icon can be used to indicate unread content, or a number, or even the time. This article shows how to do it using plain Javascript and also using React. Fun!
