I built this service (or, the core GitHub package) because we needed it internally, and someone requested an API of this, so I quickly threw together this :-).

Also, I think theres a lot of those unique avatar generators out there (even one in the comments here), and I like them but they're not personal like your initials are. Also, for example, in accounting software (where I needed it internally) a monster or space invaders didn't fit with the audience.

I do however like your idea! Wouldn't be hard do create either. Who knows, that could be version 2

I think the key challenge with my proposed idea is to have another internal API just for the themes. Everybody can provide themes for the service and hook them into the main avatar service.

Imagine there would we just one avatar service where consumers can get thousands of different avatar-styles.

Didn't consider that aspect. That would be very cool! Okay, thats a little more of a challenge than generating some initials and making a circle, lol. I will investigate, sadly I'm not the most creative person, so wouldn't be as cool as https://robohash.org
