Icotar generates simple, playful avatars for your app or website. Based on the lovable avatars from Yik Yak, each avatar consists of a colorful background and a recognizable symbol. All colors and icons are hand-picked from Material Design.
Hey hunters! 😺
I needed an anonymous avatar system for an app I'm making. I always loved the delightful little avatars in Yik Yak, and was shocked that there wasn't a service to generate something similar. So I built a teeny tiny little service to generate these icons on the fly.
The API is super simple, just call
https://icotar.com/avatar/:hash
where :hash can be anything you like.
Here's my name as an Icotar https://icotar.com/avatar/craig.
Best of all, it's open source. The service is free to use in your apps and websites. Enjoy! 🎁
Maaaan, this solution is in-cre-di-ble!!
I've read about this easy to use solution without any conviction, wondering what type of "anything I like" :hash was allowed...
So I've just tried to put anything: and it worked!!!
Thank you for this solution, really really great!

For example: /-a:hash : could be the Yik Yak collection /-b:hash : could be emojis /-c:hash : could be the more used GIFs on telegram ...
Pros:Sim-pli-ci-ty!! You just need to paste the link and add any :hash you want..
Cons:I will be so fan to have some kind of categories in these avatars
