    hi nice plugin,
    but the way how this plugin generated the avatar is really bad, sorry.
    first the color of user avatars must be static to easy remember. (but keep different each user avatar)
    the problem with ur plugin is every user reload the page, color of avatar also randomly changed.
    please look at this wp forum plugin as example beeautifull letter avatars,
    anspress.io/questions/
    or maybe you can looking on github there are many beautifull static letter avatars libraries with bunch of the feature, which you can adopt directly. like how many letters we want to show, sizing, type of latter/ font

    thanks, and keep it work

    Hello,

    Let me answer each of your questions / comments one by one.

    the way how this plugin generated the avatar is really bad

    I understand why you might say that, but let’s agree to disagree.
    All of the readily available letter avatar libraries use image generation techniques, some of which are very slow.
    In that case, if a page has 100+ comments, 100+ images would need to be loaded, which is bad for website performance.

    My solution is a pure CSS solution which has caching capabilities so they slow the website down.

    the problem with ur plugin is every user reload the page, color of avatar also randomly changed.

    This is why I’m curently developing an option which will enable you (the user) to permanently lockdown the color via e-mail hashing.

    You can have them using this plugin, you only need to change the font.

    They all generate images, I do not want to generate images. Plugin is using a pure html/css solution.

    like how many letters we want to show, sizing, type of latter/ font

    these options will be added in newer versions of the plugin.

    Impressive argument …
    glad to hear that,
    hope this plugin becomes the leading plugin in this category
