:wave: Hey fellow Gliders!

Simple and useful, I think I will use it for my next app. Thanks Robert!

This just added a whole new ux layer to one of our apps! Thanks for sharing! :fire:

Cool service! Use it in my apps too. It’s also useful for different kinds of cover images for cards or tiles. Like if we want to create some directories and subdirectories of our things.

Here are some similar services i’ve bookmarked for myself: [image] Minimal Avatars Create minimal, unique and playful avatars for free [image] Sprites-as-a-Service Generate 8-bit avatars using Cellular Automata! https://robohash.org/ [image] Avatar & Identicon Generator API Avatar Generator API With 12 Billion Unique Multicultural Avatars For Your Website or App in PNG and SVG Formats

hehe, yeah. I started using the Multiavatar ones in one of my apps. If users don’t set their own, they get a random one. I used to give them the boring Generated Image column. It’s amazing now how many users have suddenly decided to set their own avatar :rofl:

Exactly - love the subtle influence to upload a photo or make do with what we give you!

Thanks @Robert_Petitto, I loved this and used it for my directory listings (didn’t want to use a face for the business listings). But now I want to use it for my user profiles but can’t seem to find a way that Glide will allow me to use anything but the standard avatar for that, even though I have added the columns to my user sheet. Have you been able to make this happen? [Notification_Center]
