Place Anything

How does it work?

The app selects and image based on the subject, then returns a 303 redirection to http://images.weserv.nl/ where they make the resizing.

Do you host any images?

None, zero, this is just a middle-man; but an useful one I hope.

Should I use the images in production?

No.

Where do you find the images?

From reddit.com and their sub-forums usually called subreddits.

I want a subreddit that is not already available!

Write it to my email with the subject "Add Reddit:[Subreddit]" replacing [Subreddit]. My email is ivanca (in gmail) but I make no promises.

Who are you and how was this built?

I am Ivan Castellanos... just another self-taught Javascript developer; I built this on appfog using Node.js.

I get the same image on all placeholders, help!

This is how browser caching works, just add a random GET parameter to force randomness.

Why the affiliate links in the project's home page?

Because I am poor like that. Any Adblocker works if you hate me that much; or if you don't please deactivate it in this domain; it's a little unobtrusive ad. Thank you!

Why include adult subjects?

For adult sites placeholders... and because some of us are just that inmature.
