Show HN: Imagenai – generate images directly from <img alt>

2 andrevlok 0 8/21/2025, 2:35:28 PM npmjs.com ↗

I built a small npm package that turns your <img alt=""> text into real images.

No broken placeholders, no stock photo hunting. Just write good alt text and get images instantly.

It caches results so repeated prompts don’t cost extra.

npm: imagenai

Would love feedback from the community—would you use this in your projects? What features should I add next (lazy generation, custom styles, presets)?
