Integrationā€¦sort of. I kind of figured out the URL schema of modifying the avatar features on the site and now Iā€™m building Glide functionality. The cool think is that the resulting image can be the avatar for the user in all other places of the app. Even betterā€¦Iā€™m going to try to allow people to unlock avatar features by ā€œpurchasingā€ them. Stay tuned! ---

@Robert_Petitto #1 - looks good - fun! #2 - I noticed you built it in ā€˜stagingā€™ is this a problem later on when you want to move it out of staging? #2b - I noticed the staging because I opened it in my browser! Love the web/app! #3 - are you saying that this could feed RIGHT INTO the personā€™s profile pic? (no uploads, just feeds into the profile pic google sheet cell? (thatā€™s cool if that is what you meant) ---

#1: Thanks! #2 - Yesā€¦it will šŸ˜•. @davidā€¦is there anyway to ā€œtransferā€ an app from staging to live environment? #2b - I know right? #3 - Thatā€™s _exactly_ what Iā€™m saying! ---

This is amazing. I assume youā€™re still using Claudinary for this images? Why would these change so fast vs your Election US map app that takes 10 seconds to update the image? ---

Iā€™m not using cloudinary, actually. The website [https://getavataaars.com/](https://getavataaars.com/) has the URL parameter-based customization built in. I just exploited it so could work with Glide šŸ˜‰ Cloudinary takes a while with my Electoral College app because itā€™s generating an image from a template with 50 overlays (states). Since each of the overlays has 4 variations (political parties) there are 5527200 variations of the image output. Cloudinary will cache each variation. So, the more the app gets used, the faster the image loading will occur because it will be accessing one of the cached variations rather than a fresh one. ---

Very nicely done! @Robert_Petitto I see, you use the GET params: [https://getavataaars.com/?accessoriesType=Wayfarers&avatarStyle=Circle&clotheType=ShirtVNeck&eyeType=Default&eyebrowType=SadConcernedNatural&facialHairType=MoustacheFancy&hairColor=BrownDark&mouthType=Smile&skinColor=DarkBrown&topType=WinterHat3](https://getavataaars.com/?accessoriesType=Wayfarers&avatarStyle=Circle&clotheType=ShirtVNeck&eyeType=Default&eyebrowType=SadConcernedNatural&facialHairType=MoustacheFancy&hairColor=BrownDark&mouthType=Smile&skinColor=DarkBrown&topType=WinterHat3) If you get the actual SVG as a return, you can also modify the size (without loss of quality). ---

# #3. [Adorable.io](http://avatars.adorable.io/#demo) Like TinyGraphs, this whimsical avatar generator will create a unique avatar based on a keyword. That keyword can be the email address or name of your user. Use case: users sign into your app and get a unique default avatar until they create one themselves.

Yeahā€¦made this is staging by mistakeā€¦donā€™t really feel like recreating it in production. Iā€™ll make it copiable in case you want to see it in staging and then reproduce for youself! ---

Can you make it copyable then YOU copy it into glide (out of staging)? I have not done much in staging so I am not aware of the way it may work. [Next page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/avatar-builders/7964.md?page=2)
