I made this to use in another app I'm working on so I don't have to rely on other Avatar libraries or providers, or maybe just for fun.
The idea is to return a beautiful 3D-ish, stylish, cool, or unique-looking letter's image to the user rather than the default ones we see in most applications while making sure to provide a variety of sizes, sets (2 for now), and formats (2 for now) for free.
avatar-letters found elsewhere in component or other librariesThe images were edited in PowerPoint initially after downloading from Freepik first. The images were then resized, compressed, and saved in other formats using the Sharp library. It's crazy how sharp can save hundreds of images on your device in a split of a second.
As far as creating, updating, or deleting any sets, sizes, or formats (basically the static images found in public/letters folder) is concerned, I'd like to be the one maintaining that right now. I will consider ideas for improvement, or ideas for expanding this and providing users with more options
