Show HN: placesloth.com – generate placeholder images of sloths Hey all, Last week I had to make a couple of test pages and turned to one of my favorite sites to fill it with some imagery: https://placebear.com/ There's a pretty large amount of sites like this, but none seemed to be serving the superior animal: sloths. So I hacked this together quickly over the weekend. It's definitely ugly code and an ugly approach, nothing prevents this from going OOM, it'll probably fall over under a bit of load (or when the single spot instance running it gets replaced), but it was fun to build and fills my needs. Hope this inspires you to expand the placeholder generator landscape, or at least include some sloths on your test pages :) https://placesloth.com/ October 3, 2022 at 01:55AM
