## Development

![Deno](https://img.shields.io/badge/Deno-222222?style=for-the-badge&logo=Deno&logoColor=70FFAF)

This project is built with [Deno](https://deno.com/) and

[Deno Deploy](https://deno.com/deploy).

**Why?**\

[placekitten.com](https://placekitten.com/) is down. 😢 And so I needed to

either a) find an alternative kitten image placeholder service or b) make my own

kitten image placeholder service.

The kitten images are from Unsplash. This service relies heavily on hotlinking

to Unsplash images via redirects and using their `w`, `h`, and `ar` query

parameters to resize the images.
