Identicons #8

Open biosfood opened 8 months ago

biosfood commented 8 months ago

When a user has not set a personalized profile picture there needs to be a default. I think Identicons would suit this well. What are your opinions on this idea?

Lemonatix commented 8 months ago

Seems like a nice idea! I would be onboard with it. Would the identicon be the first icon for everyone? Since everyone will not have a profile picuture when the are newly introduced to the app. Or is that one of the first thing you would have to do?

As I see it, there are 5 options of what to include in the documentation

  1. "A user always needs an uploaded profile picture" - they need to upload one when registering
  2. "A user may have no profile picture" - null may be returned in the profile picture field and the client should provide a default profile picture
  3. When registering, the server adds a default profile picture, the same for all users
  4. When registering, the server creates any (with whatever alogrithm, a constant profile picture is also an algorithm) profile picture
  5. When registering, the server creates a profile picture according to .

Maintainers @Comusch @Lemonatix @fermiauflux, please vote for which option you find best suited or give an alternate proposal. I think all of those options are viable but need some feedback from the front-end engineers.
