| Nice project, congrats! Several usability issues:
|
| Page doesn't really load/slow to load.
|
| Bootstrap is a very dated look now.
|
| Regenerate button shouldn't be there at the start since it does
| nothing.
|
| Not sure why there is an ascii image of an actress? That's not a
| good favicon and doesn't seem to be a reason for it being there
|
| when i asked for a favicon it gave me a tiled list of 25 favicons
| (update i see the point now. you allow the user to manually crop?
| why not just return 25 separate favicons?)
|
| it takes an unreasonably long time to generate
|
| The loading spinner stopped and i was faced with a black screen
| for about 20 seconds, thinking it was broken
|
| Step 2 "crop and resize shows a tab with no favicon, and then put
| the (25) favicons in the wrong place, over "ipsum". This section
| could be called "Preview" and should only show when needed.
|
| refresh canvas button should be automatic, no need for a button
|
| create favicon should just say download favicon (it's very laggy
| too)
|
| upgrade to pro takes me to some weird error page
|
| the favicon you chose for the site isn't good or readable
|
| I hope these aren't too harsh! I think if you fix these it will
| help a lot with your skills. This actually helped me a lot giving
| me a new idea for a logo! The two main things you should focus on
| are speed of the site and a cohesive UX flow. Good luck with your
| mission!

| The favicon doesn't align to the tab for me.

| I think you forgot { position: relative; } on .manipulation2
|
| I like that it actually shows on the tab what the favicon would
| look like, but on my screen resolution the tab looks
| HUUUUUUUUUGEEE. Also I don't know if you know this but a single
| favicon.ico file may contain multiple different resolutions.
| Perhaps support that?
