Boring Avatars – react library to generate custom avatars
It creates SVGs using React[1], it would be nontrivial to support another view library with this design and if you're going to support only one at initial release React is probably the most popular bet.

Consider the Jamstack for Your Next Solo Project
One example I like is this Static Tweet Demo by Vercel. Tweets are dynamic - the number of people commenting/liking/retweeting is constantly changing. But do you always need to show the latest numbers or can you live with slightly stale data?

Blank page with an embedded tweet. How bad can it be?
There is also this alternative solution if you are using react/next

How can I use a library on my website without its package?
I was writing a blog where I have to curate some tweets. Twitter's embed made the webpage sluggish so I researched a bit and came across this library (ifades' Static Tweet). Currently, the package for this library doesn't exist but has been used by the author for demos. I would like to use this library. If anyone could just show me the way or guide me through as to how can I use this. That'd be amazing.
- Rule of thumb maximum number of pages for getStaticProps for Vercel deployment?

Boring Avatars – react library to generate custom avatars
That sounds a great side project, since some developers might prefer a static svg dynamically created via url like boringavatar.app/[username here].
There's some prior work on this: e.g. https://github.com/lfades/static-tweet and https://github.com/vercel/og-image.
