Introducing avatar pets & a new way to unlock avatar items! Pets include cats, dogs, birds and tigers. We know getting all those ++'s can take some time, so while all avatar items are just as reachable for free by earning ++'s from rants and comments, we now allow items to be purchased in-app based on the difference in ++'s you have to the ++ unlock value of the item. (To purchase, you'll need the latest app version)
Paying for avatar items helps us keep the devRant servers up and running and also is extra motivation to add more fun avatar items. If you have any questions or find a bug, please let me or @dfox know. Happy ranting!

WHATTT?!! I need 10 WHOLE POINTS JUST TO BUILD AN AVATAR!!! What kind of person would set such a high amount of points just to CREATE AN AVATAR! Do you know how hard that is for an introvert... ugg What kind of post should I rant about? I could rant about that one problem with HTML <divs>.. but then everyone would laugh at how simple that was... I could rant about how long I have had to live without this app. No no that would be way to big of a rant... hmmm. OH I KNOW!37

My avatar looks a lot like the 1980s version of Weird Al Yankovic. I never realized how much I look like 1980s Weird Al.

other website/app: here, upload a picture as your avatar
devrant: here, have this rpg like builder with plenty options, with everything from the shirt to the glasses and unlocks based on upvotes
i love this app5 -
When you can't take part in the new avatar shirts (or any avatar swag for that matter) because you mostly lurk and hardly ever rant...

Whenever i see someone with less than 10 ++'s, i goo to their profile and ++ everything that they've made...10 -
Found a random website that lets you design your own anime avatars, its quite in depth and there are many art styles from different artists available:
Pros:
* It's comprehensive, and it has a lot of styles available
* Editor is intuitive and Modern
Cons:
* It's in Japanese, you might wanna use GTranslate.
* Randomizer fucks up on some of the more in-depth art styles.
* Seems to be mobile-exclusive design for the editor.
You can check it out here: https://picrew.me
Here's a little sample from picrew on the Gorilla Art style
(Note: this is actually my GitHub avatar as well)

Welp, I wanted blue hair in my avatar, but since it's only supported for women's avatars, for some reason, I guess I'm a female now 😋😂💙💁

I love my pixelated avatar. The pixelated effect brings depth to the avatar. What do you guys think?

Maturity is when you make your avatar look like you.
But even then my avatar looks far better than real me.
* sobs in corner *16 -
I am a little bit fat (just a little bit :D) and there is no such an avatar in devRant to represent my look. That makes me feel I'm lying about myself 😐2

!Rant
Yassss 🙌🏼 I'm dying. Your dog 🐶😂🤣
"Get your devRant custom cartoon avatar on stickers! We can now print glossy sticky-back 1.75" (4.5cm) circles of your personalized avatar to place on your laptop, your refrigerator, your dog, wherever!"
@dfox genius

WTF! So much struggle to set an avatar? I thought that's the most easy thing to do in profile creation...!!!
@devrant, see I have started already...😁😁😁

Loving the avatar feature on devrant- just two suggedtions:
-Dual and triple monitor setup
-Different body shapes- I appreciate the optimism, @dfox, but I sure as hell ain't cut like that.7 -
Ayy. Finally hit the 1000++ point. Now I can get the shirt that I literally have 5 of irl for my avatar2
-
I want my dual-monitors :c Seems like I need to double my amount of upvotes then. But I want to match my avatar to my real setup! :c

So I decided to commit to a big project. Since I want every user to have some default avatar before I implement file system, so I wrote a simple avatar generator:
https://txstc55.github.io/simple-av...
Feel free to generate some avatars!

Dear weird stackoverflow,
What SQL knowledge do I need to hack devRant and get an avatar on here ?18 -
*me currently working with .NET and Angular2*
Manager: you have to switch projects, you will work now with Node.js and React only
me: I don't want that.
Manager: okay then.
*two weeks later*
Manager: I'm sorry, you have to switch projects.
me: ...
And here I am onboarding to a new project, trying to understand how React and Node.js work.
P.S. help me get my avatar.2 -
THE TIME HAS COME, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
I finished the avatar editor on the rewrite. It works so well.
After trial and error in design, API reversing and more, I've finally done it.6 -
If it weren't for all the people who deleted their accounts, my avatar would be wearing a suit and tie right now.
Tsk tsk tak...
Now my avatar looks like a part time pimp + full time cs student. 😎😒👩🏻💻12 -
The avatars items can be updated via the secret api, without an app update
@JS96 seems to be the only person who knows this api (3rd party) since there is a black raven in UWP avatar editor.
@Skayo searching for the api...
@Floydian thanking @trogus
@dfox staying quiet
devRant being an avatar fam.

To create your avatar: go to the menu (top left icon) on the main feed, tap "profile", and then tap "Build Avatar". Enjoy!3

!$rant
Playing around with pxgamer's php wrapper for the devrant api and was able to display my devrants avatar image in my portfolio project :D
7 -
I just want to say that I don't look anything like my avatar. Maybe I looked a bit like that 50 years ago, but now ... nope. So, how about a wrinkly avatar option?10
-
!rant
<confession>
Ever since I've discovered devRant, I use my avatar as profile picture on other sites as well.
</confession>7 -
@trogus it would be pretty rad to have an avatar option that would add a devRant sticker to a laptop.
btw: I love the Rubik's cube chillin with the rubber ducking debugger.

Small bug: If you scroll down a comment section fast enough, avatars will be wrong (last avatar...)

DevRant says I need 10 points to make an avatar.
What if I have a makefile with a target avatar? Can't I
>> make avatar
?1 -
New Avatar item and no update? Are the items in the avatar builder fetched from the api? Would be an interesting endpoint for my api docs.
Will do research.13 -
would love the ability to export the profile pictures! would make a cool profile picture for things like github too i think4
-
Thanks @dfox for the latest update with all the choices for my avatar.. Now I can flaunt my lack of fashion sense on devrant too! 😂😂2
-
#feature
This just came into my mind. What about replacing the loading avatar if you start the app that is shown at the bottom right corner with your own avatar? 😂6 -
Am I the only one that wants so fucking much save this new Rant's avatar and put it into all social profile pictures?1
-
For all people missing Avatar of Kaine. You can now say "@aokbot [subject]" and it will return a comment in the style of the real Avatar of Kaine.115
-
Nice! I wanted to add avatar to my npm profile.
Looks like I can only change my npm avatar using Gravatar.
Great! Let me see what Gravatar is about.
Hmm...To open a Gravatar account, I need to create a WordPress account.
....
I will just keep my shitty pixel avatar in npm. Thanks5 -
Anyone else change their avatar almost daily? It feels dirty to wear the same thing everyday I think I'd start to stink...
-
Yay just unlocked the avatar 😀
The face expression of my avatar, is when I saw, there was no option to place a bottle of mead on the table.5 -
I am now using my DevRant avatar for all my online profiles. No more ugly professional/fun pictures of me around the internet.1
-
@dfox please make avatar like the attached one, as for the moment I can't decide what to shave - my beard or my moustache 😉
14 -
Only because I'm a girl I can't pick facial hair for my avatar? What virgin thinks girls can't have a mustache?33
-
All new (or not so new) devRanters!
Welcome here!
But FFS if you get more than 10 ++'s, go make a fcking avatar!
(Profile/click on that big circle on top)
If you dont have enough ++'s, comment on this post, i'll help you get there!31 -
Is anyone else disappointed that there isn't an option for a bathrobe for your avatar? There are 14 options for pants, but most days I can't even be bothered to put a pair on. I want to code in comfort.4
-
Wow! Updated devRant and - Custom Avatar Stickers in the store!! So cool. Just in time for the Holidays. Thanks team devRant😀😀😀3
-
I am currently reverse-engineering the devRant Avatar APIs, I think I understand all of it now. I am curently making comprehensive documentation on it and I think I will release it (if the developers of devRant allow me to do so).
I am reversing it as part of my project of making a devRant client built in SwiftUI, because I really want to make an avatar editor on there, it’s gonna be SICK!18 -
A little something I've been working on today. So normally this would grab my devrant avatar but if for some reason there was a bad connection or something, I made it show this raccoon image instead xD

This is a weird bug my avatar looks completely different from my actual avatar
https://devrant.io/rants/604985/...
Thats the link but once I reloaded it changed to my normal one...

I am unable to create my avatar.
So now I have to rant about this ranting place. Come on!!
I am already fed up dude. Ufff.15 -
There's no option for having a mohawk or fohawk or any punkish hairstyle for the female avatar. This is so lame. I might make my avatar male just so I can have a mohawk. If it's an option for the male avatar if should be an option for the female one too. :(11
-
I wonder how come we don't have a developers' "uniform" in the avatar builder's "shirt" list...
developer's uniform == hoodie14 -
NOOOO!!!!
devRant!!!!!
Who did this to you :(
The Avatar Builder ... you have ...
A BUG

Decided to make an edit of my avatar so that I could have an avatar that was a bit more accurate, and it looked nice and all in Photoshop. But then I exported it and fuck this
2 -
Is it polite to rant about devRant in devRant?
Rant/feature request.
It could be great to have body structure option in avatar creation. (like skinny, chubby, fatass etc).6 -
What about having more pets.
I would like macots for several languages and OSes like Tux (Linux) or Gopher (Go) in front of my table on my avatar.8 -
What are your favorite distros for Linux? I'm new to Linux so I'm just curious on what's out there that you guys use most and what's most convenient for development! Also can I PLEASE get some upvotes I want an avatar so bad lol8
-
devRant Avatar builder should have T-shirts with curly brackets { } to compliment the ones with self-closing markup tag </>4
-
As far as I understand I have passed the 10 point requirement to create an avatar. Had email confirmed. Why cannot I create one?7
-
Just a lost soul trying to get enough points to build an avatar, anyone? And be friends as well, maybe.7
-
!rant
Back to my old true self ~ ^^
(except now I have a yellow background, what looks like some sort of beverage, and a slightly darker skin because the Sun is a deadly lazer).
(I changed my avatar hours ago, already, but I couldn't rant about it then because of the 2h cooldown, so yeeeaah)

The weird moment when you realise you like your devRant avatar way more than your facebook profile pic.
-
@dfox @trogus: feature request: in iOS 10.3, a feature was added where you can customize the app icon on the home screen (see http://theverge.com/2017/3/...). Can DevRant have our avatar as our icon?4
-
Hi @dfox, hi @trogus
Why have you decided to achive a sticky avatar on the rant page by increasing padding-top on scroll on the web app?
I try to understand your decision, because I would have choosen position sticky.12 -
In the midst of all this I-hate-Apple fallout, I really just wanna rant because the default computer in the avatar builder is an Apple mock. Just saying 😂😂😂5
-
The only things my devRant avatar is missing is a couple of LEGO models, some loudspeakers and a subwoofer under the table.
But what the hell. devRant is still awesome.2 -
Maybe we should have some kind of DX racer chairs for our avatar. I'm getting one soon (my current one hurts my back).1
-
GREAT PROGRESS TODAY!
I already made the login part of the devRant rewrite and I can reliably log in and out of the app.
From here, it’s just API requests, JSON parsing and just fitting the data to templates.
...and the avatar system.
Fuck.2 -
The new devRant avatar feature is so cool and there are so many ideas for customization being posted. Maybe at some point our dev community can build and submit custom devRant avatar objects according to devRant specs. I might even try to build a Bernoulli box 😀
Thoughts?1 -
Is it a bug ,if you have the hairstyles which I have kept on my avatar, you can't have facial hair? Really devRant? I'm the living example and I have both3
-
Just updated the app to use the avatar builder, now I have a goal in life, get enough upvotes so I can get my avatar some slippers, I love coding in slippers or bare feet
-
Do devRanters try to replicate themselves when creating an avatar or create a slick version of how they would want to look like or portray themselves as?15
-
Back in the day, I thought the stuff for the avatar was an allowance system; you could only get things that totaled to your level of ++ but not beyond it.2
-
I updated my resume.
My new career objective is to score enough ++ so that I can afford a tiger pet on my devrant avatar!!4 -
!rant
This morning I changed my avatar for github 😁
I liked my devRant avatar better so I used it for my github account 😁 -
!rant
Can you buy ++ ? I saw something in the avatar creation menu. If you can, does it then show up next to your name or is it just used for avatar cuatomization?3 -
been a while since I updated my avatar and just noticed that my hair grew ALOT in the past couple of months since I shaved XD college really got me busy. Now I can't find an afro hairstyle in the builder 🙁
Devs Please Add AFRO hairstyle.3 -
The other day when my family and I went to the beach, I met an old friend whom I hadn't seen since 2013. We hardly recognised each other. He brought to my attention that my hair had turned grey! 😮 I was imagining it was still black, but at a closer look it's more like salt & pepper or even beyond... 🤨 I thought I was immune to aging. Hence, the update of my profile avatar, to give an honest picture of my present appearance.2
-
I am getting really close to actually FINISHING the avatar editor, this took way less than I anticipated but there are still many bugs in that thing that I haven’t discovered yet and that I have already discovered.4
-
!rant
Making the avatar is relatively stressful due to how I wanted it to have the beard I could never attain but the sight of it still made me cringe. Plus, I wanted a pet but points requirements made me sad.2 -
In the interest of honesty - I'm much fatter than my avatar portrays. My avatar is quite literally half the man I am. #AspirationalAvatar1
-
I'm thinking that the user should be able to choose his body in the avatar builder. I'm not as skinny as I look on my avatar. :)1
-
this.type = PostType.FEATURE_REQUEST;
What about adding a Racing Chair as a chair in the Avatar Designer.1 -
@dfox would love to be able to get a dxracer chair for the avatar. that way i can be jealous of myself :D
-
Sorry for the newbie question but how can I customize my avatar shirt to have a PHP logo? Thanks 👌2
-
Did you make your avatar look exactly like you or you played changing things on it?
(Like adding tattoos you don't have or anything like it.)4 -
Unpopular Opinion Time: I actually prefer the "empty" colored dot for an avatar over the customized profile characters. Anyone else?3

About the watches in the avatar.
Who has time to look at the time when coding? When I code, I am usually stopped by the arrival of dawn T_T3 -
I'm new here and yesterday, I had the opportunity to create my Avatar, great! BUT, I noticed a bit of Gingerism here! ;)
1) Where is the freckles skin tones? Where!! I have freckles everywhere! I want freckles everywhere!! Well.. not really everywhere...
2) I tried to select Red Hair color, but the avatar still have that grey color! I want Red Hair! (Ok I admit, I don't really have red hair...)

Cats and dogs - I interact with both in my uni and love both of them (yea well guess which one of them actually reciprocates the love).
I'm kinda having a tough time deciding which one do I keep in my Avatar.
@dfox please add an option with both of 'em fuckers3 -
Whenever I try to download my avatar, it says "Saved to galley" but it's not there. I am having this issue since beginning. Anyone else having same issue?9
-
I kind of wish there was an option for a small brown dog for my avatar.
My dog is a small brown mutt (I think that's the word? She doesn't have a breed) and right now there's no dog that looks like her 😭3 -
Seems like everyone's avatar background color is orange. Thus, I am faced with this dilemma: I can continue to use my favorite color, or change my background and be a special snowflake.2
-
What devrant means is not, "you will GET 10++ to build your avatar" but rather, "you NEED TO GET 10++ to build your avatar"
