Hero stories fixtures reference deprecated source.unsplash.com/random (503) #242

Hi - https://source.unsplash.com/random was deprecated by Unsplash in mid-2024 and now returns 503. It's referenced in the Hero stories fixtures:

  • src/components/Hero/Hero.stories.js L26: imageUrl: "https://source.unsplash.com/random",
  • src/components/Hero/Hero.stories.js L32: imageUrl: "https://source.unsplash.com/random",

These look like Storybook fixtures rather than production code, but anyone viewing the stories (incl. a deployed Storybook) sees broken hero images.

Two fixes:

  1. Swap each fixture to a specific https://images.unsplash.com/photo-<id>?... URL — one-line change.
  2. Use tteg to save two concrete local images the stories can import: uv tool install tteg; tteg save "abstract" ./src/components/Hero/fixtures/hero-a (https://github.com/kiluazen/tteg).

Context: ~16,500 live GitHub files still reference this dead endpoint — writeup at https://github.com/kiluazen/tteg/blob/research-note-autark/RESEARCH.md
