Placeholder images from flickr tags

2 pointsby jfoucherabout 14 years ago
Hi, I just created this little web app in a few hours a would like to get some feedback about how to improve it.<p>http://flickholdr.com allows you to get placeholder images in the size of your choice, but getting images from flickr according to the tags passed. This means you can get placeholder images that actually tie in why the theme of the site you are building.<p>Comments and criticism welcome!<p>Thanks

Congratulations, this is a great idea, and nicely executed too.<p>A couple of thoughts: I get PHP errors if I use a search string with spaces in (something%20else).<p>Yahoo will probably have a problem with the name/branding if this gets popular. Changing the name would solve this, and give you room to branch out in future by pulling in images from multiple sources.<p>Good luck!

size/tag queries always return the same image. It might be useful to have size/tag/_offset_ type of a query, to diversify the placeholder images that appear on a page.
