    Just tried it out in my dummy application, but it throws an error when you provide a suffix... which is officially supported by their documentation. Hoping they support this soon. …

    I understand the cartoony feedback. We're working on improving the quality of the avatars to be more adult / work focused. We do believe in avatars - they are one of the key points…
