Imagenai – generate images directly from <img alt>

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)?
