Some example avatars generated using Toucanny

While working on another one of my personal projects, CodeNest, I wanted a custom solution for generating a default username and avatar when a user signs up. Currently, we are using Auth0 to handle user login and signup, and they already create a default avatar using Gravatar, but I found it to be too boring, just the user's initials and a background color 😴. So, I decided to make my own version, and add a username generator on top. My objective for this project was to create a username and avatar generator that generates a unique username and avatar for each new user, with no chance for duplicates, and creates a memorable and interesting output, not just random characters and a bland image.
