I’m on day 60 of #100Days, and have just wasted most of an evening’s coding time going down a rabit hole I didn’t need to. The app for this challenge is called “FriendFace” and is pretty straightforward: download a heap of JSON which is an array of users. Show it in a list that can be clicked through to see the details of that user.

I did that, and instead of moving onto the next project, decided I’d like to show a profile picture of each person. There’s no data for that, so I’ll use a fake photo. I use the Stable Diffusion AI for many of the pictures in this blog, so I assumed there would be an API for grabbing a fake profile pic from somewhere. It turns out there are several, but they are paid services.
