Show HN: Personal avatar generator built in ReasonML

Hey Everyone! We built Personas as a side project from building Draftbit. We started down this path after looking around for a set of colorful avatar icons to use on a project, and couldn&#x27;t find a set that didn&#x27;t force us to make some unfortunate choices around gender, race, and age. So we built our own set, and here it is!<p>The site uses ReasonML to stack SVG&#x27;s on top of each other, provide unique combinations of attributes. Our current set supports more than 2.5 billion possible permutations!<p>You can use Personas to create a new icon for slack, social media, product hunt, etc. Or use the (free) Sketch file to build a set for your products or apps, or dig into the source code on GitHub to help us improve and expand Personas for everyone. Cheers!

I&#x27;d consider changing the random balance on the facial hair -- with six types of facial hair and one without, and (I presume) equal weighting to those seven categories, 6 out of 7 faces come out as people able to grow beards...

Great seeing more apps being built in Reason! How was your experience with it?

This is very cool, the idea behind draftbit sounds really interesting as well. When is the beta out?

Neat little app!!! I shared on Twitter my beautiful avatar of myself. Like I said to Peter, you&#x27;re making me very interested in RML! Nice work!!

Could you talk more about your experience with Reason? On the fence about it and Clojurescript, Elm and Purescript.

Cute.<p>I suggest always rendering the little shape preview above each color palette in greyscale. That way the user can still browse shapes even though they have a color selected that&#x27;s hard to see on a white background.
