Show profile pictures for Glass feeds

Currently, the Glass connector uses the Glass logo in the timeline and in the list of feeds.

It’d be nice if it showed a given user’s profile picture instead.

Hi,

You're right that the Glass connector currently uses the Glass logo in the timeline and feed list rather than user profile pictures.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to implement user avatars because Glass doesn't provide an API for retrieving user profile pictures. Unlike other platforms, there's no clear way to build or predict the URL for a user's avatar based on their username.

I've been able to add this feature to other connectors (like omg.lol) because that platform has a predictable URL structure where user avatars can be constructed directly from the username. Glass lacks this predictable URL structure, making it impossible to reliably fetch user avatars without proper API support.

Sorry.
