Vibe Placeholder

Describe what you need, get AI placeholder images instantly

The Problem

Placeholder images are generic and boring, Midjourney costs money

Current Solutions (Not Great)

placeholder.com, Lorem Picsum, or pay for Midjourney

Who Needs This

Developers and designers building mockups

Skip boring gray boxes. Describe what you need ('happy team in office', 'abstract tech pattern') and get custom placeholder images for your mockups instantly. Perfect for designers and developers building prototypes.

Honest Take

Nice utility but very niche. Designers using Figma already have plugins for this. The 'free' angle competes with Unsplash which is good enough for most. Could work as a browser extension integrated into design tools, but standalone adoption is questionable.

Build Prompt

Use this prompt with an AI assistant to start building

Build a React PWA called 'Vibe Placeholder' using WebInfer for AI inference. Use generateImage to create placeholder images from text descriptions. UI: prompt input field, size dropdown (64x64 avatar, 300x200 thumbnail, 1200x630 og-image, 1920x1080 hero, custom), style selector (realistic photo, illustration, abstract, wireframe sketch). Show generated image with one-click actions: copy base64, copy as <img> tag, download PNG. Add 'Generate 4 variations' button that calls generateImage with n:4. Include a gallery of recent generations stored in localStorage. Clean minimal UI with grid layout for variations.
