Boring avatars is a tiny JavaScript React library that generates custom, SVG-based, round avatars from any username and color palette.

I was just thinking something like this, glad to stumbled here. Sending to our developer @yulafezmem and we will implement this in our projects, it is soo boring to serve empty avatar spaces, and wait for people to upload. Website is nicely executed, when you hover to the gradients, "COPY SVG" reveals at the bottom and you can click and copy the SVG code. OK, but I think we can do this by clicking right on to the gradient circles, without moving the cursor to the bottom each time, and also simple feedback would be nice on top of it "copied". Notable Women is also a nice touch. These things always add value, no matter where they used.

@yulafezmem @boraoztunc Thank you Bora for all your feedback ✨. Our intended approach, as you mentioned, was to change the way we use the user avatar placeholders in those projects were we don't want to fall into the boring-letter-based avatars libraries 👍

This is so cool! I've been looking for funny avatar generator like this since Adorable API already discontinued

@sozonome Thank you! We have no cartoon faces in the library, but the Beam variant might do the work 👍

@josep_martins yep, I used the beam variant, it works great

So adorable and I see potential to use for my project! great work.

@junwoo Thank you John ✨

So cute and simple, love it

I like these simple faces much more than stock photo people or AI creations. These go well as placeholders, or in your prototype. They have great no-nonsense Figma plugin.

Just discovered it and I really like it. We will implement it in our project.
