Thanks - this is a good catch, and the answer turned out to be that the icon set was already in the repo. Built in, and it already shipped: Lucide. Yuvomi vendors the full Lucide set at The picker opens from the tile preview in the quick link dialog. It starts with ~48 suggestions for common self-hosted categories (media, storage, home control) and searches the full set from there. One caveat worth stating plainly: the names are English identifiers ( On Idea 1 (bundling selfh.st/icons). I looked at it seriously, and it does not carry its weight here. It would be a low double-digit megabyte increase in the repo for a row that holds at most 24 tiles; every brand logo carries its own licence situation; and Yuvomi vendors third-party code by hand with a documented update path ( You do lose the actual brand mark this way: you get a film reel instead of the Jellyfin logo. If you want the real logo, the image upload is still there, unchanged. On Idea 2 (fetching the favicon on demand). This one I wanted to work, and it does not - for a reason that is worth writing down. The browser cannot do it. It may display a cross-origin image, but not read it: a canvas tainted by a cross-origin source throws on That leaves the server fetching it. But any household member can create a quick link - there is no admin gate on that route - and quick links point at internal addresses by design (the placeholder in the dialog is literally Shipping in the next release. The reasoning above lives in the code as well, so the next person to reach for selfh.st or a favicon fetch finds out why it was not taken. |
Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
Regarding the new Shortcuts feature (#469 and #864).
I don't want to upload an image for a link. It's just an icon and as heavy self-hoster I don't want to search and fetch icons from "somewhere", I would like to have it just built-in Yuvomi.
Idea 1:
So why not add the Self-Hoste icon set built-in to Yuvomi.
An icon-picker is not necessarily required in first place if a help-text states to the search-capabilities of the website.
Idea 2:
You mentioned to query the favicon is not an option because each load of the dashboard page causes traffic. That's true.
But what if the favicon gets downloaded on demand in the edit/create dialog?
Both ideas could also be combined, so there are three options for the image.
