Hey all! My name is Owen, I'm the developer behind PlaceholderJS. Since the demise of placeholder.com, I wanted to be able to use placeholders on my React projects via a package so that way I don't have to worry about these services shutting down again in the future. Additionally, for our non-React developers out there, I created a simple CDN that functions similarly.

@bick nice! The example URLs work well – I am going to use this today 💪 Have you thought about generating data-uri's so there is no network needed at all?

Sounds like a super handy tool. Haven't dived deep yet, but the idea of a reliable placeholder for React projects is cool. Congrats and good luck with the launch!

Nice 👏, I've recently been looking for exactly this feature - simple placeholder serving lightweight SVG images. Thanks!

I like it! Definitely had a few moments where I would have reached for sth like this if I had known about it. One piece of feedback: it would interest me while reading the docs, if I were to use it, where the images are from

Great job! That's actually really useful 😊. Bookmarked in my brain for later 🧠. Make sure you post this on HackerNews, you'll get a lot of traffic and happy users from there.

This seems like a neat solution, @bick! I'm curious about the integration process for React projects. Can you share some insights on how easy it is to implement PlaceholderJS? Also, any plans to support other frameworks, or is it strictly React and CDN for now? Would love to see some practical examples or demos!
