Change app description, favicon

Question

Hello. Is there a way to change the description and the favicon on the app today?

I'm actually considering putting it in a fast API app, so I guess I could override it there with a middleware potentially, but... I don't know if maybe there's a configuration option I can do, that would be a little simpler to start out with.

Fastapi should be doable, but I haven’t seen a recipe for it.

I’m also adding this PR which lets you override the head html. I’m not sure what takes precedence if you add another description or favicon, I can test it out. If it doesn’t, we can make it overridable

Yeah that helps a lot, if a new description or fabicon works that would be great. the description in particular would be useful.

I just pushed: https://measure.homes to fly.dev. It's a project I've been working on and since I have been prototyping in marimo, I'm considering using the marimo app directly as my MVP.

For fastapi I was just going to follow this custom auth example I mean: https://docs.marimo.io/guides/deploying/authentication.html

Wow that’s super cool. I gave it a fuzzy match of my address and it got it

The auth example there may be incomplete but there is a link to a full example at the bottom

Will run my marimo version off that PR if it works for customizing the description

Sweet let me know and otherwise I can make sure it overrides it

@Myles Scolnick I probably won't end up checking this, my testers got a ton of marimo-specific errors. (Kernel not found in particular was a big one)

I'll come back to see if I can help debug that but for now I need to focus on converting this over to a plain fastapi app for launch.

Got it, sounds good. Let me know if I can be helpful
