Mark here, I threw placekitten.com together this weekend after a journey on a train in which I could not access placehold.it and few weeks of jokes about the concept with colleagues.
I was not planning on posting to HN, as I thought that a kitten-meme related site might not be the most appropriate (looks like the wisdom of the crowd has decided otherwise).
I can't claim that the server will stand up, so I would refrain from using the site for anything critical (not sure why you would need/want to), or that caching is entirely correct (I'm sending far-future expires, but I'm sure that I could improve given some time).
Glad that the internet likes kittens though. Confirmed a suspicion I had.
- jedsmith 16y agoIs a followup to Silk next, with 1,000 strokably-soft kittens? (I'm kidding. I love Silk, thanks for making it.)
- famfamfam 16y agoIt also appears that I should have taken that extra couple of hours to host the site somewhere other than a small mediatemple server, you're all hitting HTTP client limits at the moment.
- stcredzero 16y agoIf you could somehow gather all the lolcat meme texts together to use as an alternative to Lorem Ipsum, that would be hilarious!
- joshmanders 16y agoAwesome work, and I love your icons too dude.
- sahillavingia 16y agoJust wanted to say: thanks for prettifying up the web with your Silk icons!
- alanthonyc 16y agoThanks, it's really cute. Any way we can have puppies?
- MichaelApproved 16y agoWondering where you got all the pictures from? Is this a gray area of copyright? I'm asking because I've tried to source large amount of pictures in the past will little luck.
