A quick and simple service for getting pictures of whatever-you-want for use as placeholders in your designs or code. Just put your image size (width & height) after the URL and you'll get a placeholder. Similar URL as Placekitten.
There is also a bookmarklet service which works the same as Horse_ebookmarklet.
Dependencies are handled by pip, install it on your machine (if you use virtualenv, create a new venv).
- Go to the code:
cd path/to/holder
- Get dependencies in place:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Start the app:
python wsgi.py
- Go to http://localhost:5001 in your web browser.
- Done!
