Placeholders are an important resource for online and print design. Peek-a-boose makes it easy to match placeholder images to a rough sketch design style on demand.

##### Working links
 I have to make adjustments to the way Puppeteer and/or Chromium are deployed to heroku.  This is actually [known Issue #1 in the repo](https://github.com/tdreid/peek-a-boose/issues/1).  In the interim, there is a working sample on this dev machine (Note because it's dev you may encounter a confirmation screen, just click the button to proceed to the example):
