What is it?

What are avatars?

Avatars are earthly creatures... whatever

Took the avatars engine from 'adorable-avatars' and made it a reusable module

How do I use it?

 
var avatars = require("potato-avatars").middleware;
var app = require("express")();
app.use("/avatars/:size?/:id", avatars());

Avatars will be available at /avatars/200/some-user-identifier.png
