server side render or put in HTML as placeholder. I've wanted to placeholder images with the primary color or some gradient that can be made in canvas but never got around to it for a project.

I never really understood what that meant. Server-side render it's not template generation? Time to learn how to read.

I do build a template and spit it out according to what is requested, but then a JS function runs to "fill in the blanks" with a secondary call for the missing data. I should probably get rid of the images formatting (based on aspect ratio) to fit into the tiles. I don't know...
