I saw in a tutorial that you can use images from unsplash as placeholders in mockups.
Example:
```auto
```
The image is random and may change.
There is also placekitten.
```auto

@Josh I like the unspash source api and the idea of using it as a placeholder.
It lets you grab random images with no setup / request headers, and you can specify dimensions and even search terms eg [https://source.unsplash.com/1600x900/?buildings,oranges](https://source.unsplash.com/1600x900/?buildings,oranges)
I used it a while ago in my [image glitch](https://www.natedonato.com/glitch/) project. To be honest this wasn’t a great use case for it since it can be a bit slow if you are trying to rapidly grab new images but it was good for doing a practice project without having to register for an api account or deal with secret keys, etc.
