Live demos of no-key asset APIs (needs network): real-time icon search / 100 everyday icons / brand logos / avatar placeholders / illustrations. Discipline: emoji are never icons.
⚡ This page needs network — icons / logos / avatars / placeholders all hit live no-key third-party APIs (iconify · simpleicons · dicebear · picsum), no account, no API key.
Iconify live search (200k+ icons aggregated)
Type a keyword to query api.iconify.design directly — what you see is what you get; click an icon to copy its full name (prefix:name). Use one icon set per site (default: lucide, 24px grid).
100 everyday icons (Lucide)
The 100 most-used icons, grouped by scenario — click any cell to copy its lucide-react import; hover for usage and best-for notes. The top-bar search filters by name / keyword / group.
Brand logos (simpleicons)
cdn.simpleicons.org/{brand}, append /{hex} to set the color. Never hand-draw a brand logo or guess its path — a wrong logo instantly reads amateur (playbook discipline). Click any cell to copy the URL.
Avatar placeholders (DiceBear 9.x · 24 styles)
api.dicebear.com/9.x/{style}/svg?seed=<any> — the same seed always yields the same face; made for demo data and user-list prototypes. Change the seed to re-render the whole grid; click any cell to copy that style's URL.
Illustrations & placeholders
picsum.photos/{w}/{h} (supports ?grayscale&blur) — prototyping only; replace with real assets before launch.Asset discipline: emoji are never icons · real product screenshots beat stock photos · illustrations belong only in empty states and onboarding, never on feature screens.
