Show your team colors on GitHub | Slack | etc. for the World Cup ⚽️ 🏆

#soccer #football #github #slack

I have no idea if this will be a hit, a miss, or the kind of thing that gets exactly four stars and one confused issue, but I painstakingly crafted (and by which I mean lazily vibe-coded) a pretty decent little avatar generator for the 2026 World Cup.

It’s called FanFrame: World Cup 2026 Avatar Generator (naming is hard).

The idea is simple: enter your GitHub username (or upload your avatar), pick a World Cup team, and generate a profile image with that team’s colors wrapped around your avatar. Think #OPENTOWORK on LinkedIn, but instead of signaling career availability, you’re signaling that you are emotionally unavailable for the next 90 minutes plus stoppage time.

Useful? Maybe.

Necessary? Absolutely not.

But it does solve several very real developer problems:

Explaining unseen rivalries in pull requests
Making your standup avatar say "I am currently watching ~~soccer~~ the football, please lower your expectations accordingly"
Letting teammates know why you are mysteriously away from keyboard

The app supports all 48 World Cup 2026 teams, adds a team-colored ribbon around your avatar, includes a country code badge, and lets you download the result as a PNG.

Why?

Because the World Cup is coming.

Because "Scotland are playing Brazil" and "I'm three beers deep" at noon is a completely valid reason to not respond in Slack.
