## Description

Tinycon is a JavaScript library for programmatically manipulating website favicons and rendering customizable notification bubbles within the browser tab. It functions as a tool for updating the favicon in real time to reflect specific user contexts or system alerts.

The library specializes in generating numeric alert badges that overlay the favicon to notify users of pending updates or messages. These badges can be configured with specific colors and dimensions to provide visual cues in the browser tab when an application is not in focus.
