A little React library to replace your boring fallback avatars ↦
Boring avatars is a tiny JavaScript React library that generates custom, SVG-based, round avatars from any username and color palette.
Cool, but it’d be even cooler if it detached from React so we could all use it. It’d also be nice if you could opt to having the initials overlay the gradient.

Hi, first let me tell you I love the shows. Amazing podcast channels.
As you say because fallback avatars are so boring I ended up creating a tiny library (473 bytes Brotli-compressed, hard to beat) to generate github-like avatars directly in the browser: https://github.com/laurentpayot/minidenticons
Cheers,
