Hi,

Creator here. This small side projects was to learn more about SVG's and api design (documentation, rate limiting, etc).

Still lots to do but I wanted to show the world as soon as possible and gather some initial feedback.

Hope you like it!

the Guess Who game is just a gimmick, it is mainly about the API

Well done, maybe you add something like name or any identifier that'll make the avatar not always random for certain query like ui-avatars.

Also I'm also building a dynamic image generation with one of the feature is using URL: https://duply.co

Ah thanks, that's an excellent suggestion. That way, you can request avatars and send a list of already received avatar-IDs with your request to prevent getting duplicates?

Yes, that'll be really helpful and probably could compete with ui-avatars
