Took me a moment to notice the "shuffle" button; the utility of the site became a lot clearer after that!<p>Are those real peoples' photos? I know this is intended for mockups and placeholders, but the absence of any licensing info would still give me a little pause before trying this for anything but a personal project. (I recognize the 'fake logos' from logoipsum.com, they don't require attribution but you miiiiight be on the wrong side of the line of their "as long as you don't use the logo to make similar website as Logoipsum then it's all good" thing.)<p>I hate to be the copyright party pooper, but this is a nifty idea; a quick note at the bottom confirming sourcing and that everything's openly usable would probably encourage more people to make use of it!
This used¹ content from logoipsum who explicitly state you cannot use their logos for this purpose:<p>"You can not:<p>Re-distribute/re-package as means of creating similar logo placeholder website to Logoipsum.com and/or similar to Logoipsum Figma Plugin."<p>see: <a href="https://logoipsum.com/license/" rel="nofollow">https://logoipsum.com/license/</a><p>1. edit: This originally said 'uses' but the author changed it as soon as they were made aware.
Hey HN, Alex and Ben here, and we wanted to share a simple web app we created recently.<p>UI Filler is a quick way to get placeholders for your designs.<p>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 even more design-oriented than I am, tries to make up appropriate text to fill fields (my favorite thing he does is placeholder names, like “Anita McLaren”). We decided to make a tool that would save us a bit of time every time we needed a placeholder, so we built UIFiller.<p>Let me know what you think!
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.<p>My favorite town is Chrząszczyżewoszczyce, powiat Łękołody: <a href="https://youtube.com/watch?v=jaMcIbIWt_4" rel="nofollow">https://youtube.com/watch?v=jaMcIbIWt_4</a><p>My favorite country is Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Military_Order_of_Malta" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Military_Order_of_Ma...</a><p>For the company, look at those sub-sub-subdivisions of state departments. But there's also this cutie: <a href="https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04120480" rel="nofollow">https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/c...</a>
I like how this includes images and logos.<p>I typically use <a href="https://mockaroo.com/" rel="nofollow">https://mockaroo.com/</a>. But its target is probably less design and more implementing a design in an app or a site.
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”?
