[FEATURE] <Generate a username when a user signs up> about defaang HOT 8 CLOSED

I suggest we let the user pick a username during Registration. This will take the burden of generating random usernames away from us. If a user wants to change their username, later on, we should have an option to change it in settings.

For generating random avatars we can use the Dicebear library. It can generate different types of avatars using a seed. We can use the username as a seed for generating a user's avatar with it.

Picking up a unique username is all good just a suggestion we can also use a random avatar as their profile pic. If it sounds good to all of you.

Yeah, I think we can use an npm package unique-username-generator that can generate a username from email by adding some random digits or totally generate a random username ......

The avatar thing is great and should be put on consideration....

Is there anyone working on this feature?

@AdityaPainuli no I don't think so

Hey @ykdojo, I would like to work on it.

We have moved on from the initial username generation plan. Now, we let the user choose one for themselves. Closing this as it is no longer on the roadmap. I'll open another issue that addresses changing of username after #151.
