1. First, go to https://openprofile.is-cool.dev. This is the web app that you will create your card in. It's online, so you don't need to download external software.

2. Pick a default avatar. As of writing, the options are:

• 404: no avatar if no avatar is associated with the email provided.

• identicon: random geometric shapes if no avatar is associated with the email provided.

• retro: random retro-style image made out of squares and rectangles no avatar is associated with the email provided. looks like github's default avatar.

• mm: a human silhouette if no avatar is associated with the email provided.

• pagan: similar to identicon, but more human-like

• monsterid: creative 2d random monster if no avatar is associated with the email provided.

• robohash: similar to monsterid.

1. Fill out the details you want on the form. A name is required in all cases, and an email address is required if you want to use an avatar.

2. Click "Generate". It will generate a unique user ID for you.

3. After that, click "View Profile". It will redirect you to your card.

4. Congrats! You just created your very own OpenProfile card in 5 steps! Now you can copy the card URL and share it with your friends! Here is an example :)
