This is great, and I really, really love the inclusive-by-default approach.

Where inclusive == everybody is brown skinned?

And if it was white skinned you would be birdbox.jpeg but now that we live in a world that doesn't cater to you always, you light up like a pinball machine. cUrIoUs!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Now that this art style is freely available, prepare to see it slathered over every new startup promising an API for your SaaS that integrates with their PaaS and builds a future-proof IaaS.

Hope you're using AI and machine learning to do that on the blockchain.

Of course! Our cloud-native, Agile-first team of DevOps rockstars are working on that as we speak.

Something's fascinating to me. Clearly there's a lot of diversity. But there also isn't. I don't associate with any of it. Not because I'm a green space monster. But where's the potbellied, grizzled 55 year old welder? Or the "I hate kale, more bacon please" mother of three? Everyone looks so... Chic and young and modern and... Silicon Valley. Is it the art style? Is that the point? Is that what the robotic "HUMAAAAN…

I love this effort. But sort of wish it wasnt just a drop-box site and rather a site where others could contribute and tag-index their contributions. This way, you could contribute the persona you're missing.

> I don't associate with any of it. Not because I'm a green space monster. When I checked I didn't see any white people, so assuming that you are white the explanation for your reaction is probably just that your race isn't represented. People identify more with other people that look like them. If you had a kid from China draw a picture of some people they would all look Chinese, so my guess is that the author of th…

That may be OK, but I can't think of a country where 80% of people are female?

Favourited. Really nice work and impressive landing page. Would love to have an online tool for this also, as others have said. The style of work really reminds me of undraw [1] [1] https://undraw.co

Oh my god, the real gold is in the comments. Can you share some other cool stuff from your bookmarks?

http://draftss.com is also coming up with something similar soon.

Yeah, you're right!

You also got me thinking about how some of the tools here lend themselves to assembling then contributing additional elements. Ie. drag out existing elements, do some basic vector drag and drop and editing, paint bucket, border thickness, etc. "Submit for peer review" (which can be a Pull Request).
