A tiny API for identicon generation

Altar is a tiny API for the generation of identicons (Wikipedia). Altar always generates the same image from the same input through hashing and simple calculations.

This means that you can use Altar to generate profile pictures for users based on their username, or any other unique identifier.

Altar was built from the ground up with few dependencies, but is inspired from GitHub's Identicons and minidenticons.

How to use

An API request to Altar only requires the data you want to use to generate the identicon. There are overrides (e.g. for the file size and color) which can be found in the documentation.
