Smooth deprecation suggestion #79

Closed alexeysarakuz closed 2 weeks ago

alexeysarakuz commented 2 months ago

Just noticed on the readme that you are planning to deprecate the library, if so, please try to smoothly/gracefully deprecate it by relying on the alternative solution -> https://www.dicebear.com/playground/

The integration looks pretty similar:

<img src="https://api.dicebear.com/9.x/thumbs/svg?seed=Princess" alt="avatar" />

Also their "thumbs" theme looks similar to the boringavatars.

It should be pretty quick to migrate, but users of this library will avoid seeing 404.

Hope it helps!

Hey @alexeysarakuz, thanks for the suggestion. The problem here is the amount of daily requests through the service.

Please note that the old service will be paused by the end of this month. We recommend transitioning to our new subscription plan to ensure uninterrupted access and support. More info here.
