This used¹ content from logoipsum who explicitly state you cannot use their logos for this purpose: "You can not: Re-distribute/re-package as means of creating similar logo placeholder website to Logoipsum.com and/or similar to Logoipsum Figma Plugin." see: https://logoipsum.com/license/ 1. edit: This originally said 'uses' but the author changed it as soon as they were made aware.

Yeah, rereading the license, it looks like we shouldn't use images from there. We have already removed them from the list - thanks for the flag

One of these days I’m going to build something like this, but with realistic profile pictures. A UI with pictures like this site has will always look great, but now try it when half the profile pics are the user’s dog, or the user standing in front of the Eiffel Tower, or hanging out with fifteen friends in a bar. Suddenly it goes from “oh, that’s a post from Bob” to “what even is that picture”?

If you aren't testing your interface with names like Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard von Habsburg-Lothringen, you're doing it wrong. My favorite town is Chrząszczyżewoszczyce, powiat Łękołody: https://youtube.com/watch?v=jaMcIbIWt_4 My favorite country is Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sov…

This is almost perfect, just need a few more special characters. Fortunately, Ešeeva'e Ó Cuinneagáin Sólveig doesn't mind being a _very_ early adopter. Edit: I bet this post looks pretty stupid now after parent edited to include special characters.

Someone’s first name should be <script alert(“hello”); and maybe get Bobby Tables in there too?

Great, I amended my original comment.

Hey HN, Alex and Ben here, and we wanted to share a simple web app we created recently. UI Filler is a quick way to get placeholders for your designs. We do a lot of UI design and development and frequently need to fill it with placeholder content. I usually just Google “Lorem ipsum” and end up on a site about the history of lorem ipsum, then copy and paste some small chunk of it to fill the field I need. Ben, who is…

Brilliant idea! Bookmarked. Will use. Some wish list: - implement seed number (to get same results every time) - json endpoint - little bit more of data types

Yes! A JSON RESTful API GET endpoint would be SWEET! Easy scriptable way to populate a local testing / design resources folder with some fast starter data. Just to name one possible use that came instantly to mind for my uses. Love the random seed idea, too.
