Hey, thank you @chrismessina for hunting the plugin :) This was actually a very quick way to scratch a personal itch, as they say, but I'm really, really glad it turned out to be useful for the community ! Thank you guys Quick question, does anyone use the + Options version?
Themmed
@manuelecapacci I have done recently for a background image on iOS app. Works great!

@themmed Thank you for the feedback Mark, I was wondering if it something that is worth keeping for the next iterations
Themmed
@manuelecapacci Hmm. On the fence with that one. I have used it, but very rarely, but it is handy. Grrr. Not sure :)
Themmed
@manuelecapacci What would be a cool feature, is an option to search for more specific images via tags? Like on the Unsplash page itself?
Manuele
Maker
@themmed working exactly on that, using desired tags as layer name ;) ( thanks to @stan )

Hey @chrisunderdown , the pictures are taken from unsplash.com and they are all very high resolution (and very high quality). For optimization sake, the plugin retrieve a picture that is exactly the size of your shape layer. If you enlarge that shape layer later it would be better to run the plugin again.

This is fantastic, the Unsplash photography is beautiful. Installed. I also recommend Content Generator plugin, great for generating profile pictures, fill in text, etc (https://github.com/timuric/Conte...), and Sketchsquares, which fills layers with images from Instagram (https://github.com/abynim/Sketch...). Edit: you guys should install the Sketch Toolbox if you haven't already. Search, install and manage Sketch plugins: http://sketchtoolbox.com

Amazing! Only thing is, I wish the images were higher res, these seem quite pixelated.

😍. The photos on Unsplash are so great and this is makes it way too easy to use them.

Great stuff! Using it already, would be awesome to choose photos in some way :)
Stanford Rosenthal
@drikerf My fork allows you to do just that. We're debating keeping the current options functionality or the search functionality. Can't do both. https://github.com/nolastan/Unsp...

Wow! It's too good for mockups! Thanks for sharing!

From all designers, thanks @chrismessina to hunt it and thanks to @manuelecapacci to made it!

yo @manuelecapacci, just a tip. It should load double resolution images on retina displays.
Manuele

@jurajivan good call! It will probably depend to the "Retina Canvas" switch in the app settings, but it's a check that will be included for sure in the next update. Thanks!
Themmed
Invaluable. Use it a lot!!

Btw, I've created a very similar plugin, but for artworks from Last.fm: https://github.com/mmth/sketch-a...

That's super useful! I'd second @pddro's comment about Sketch Toolbox, it makes installing any plugin a breeze: http://sketchtoolbox.com On a similar note this can also be done on the web via URL query with either of these: https://source.unsplash.com/ (official unsplash) or https://unsplash.it/

This is a great plugin for building screenshots for Mac AppStore when you want to show a desktop :) Awesome!
