Sample Assets
A collection of sample material for demos, tests and tutorials: datasets, code, images, documents and prose, named consistently and free to redistribute. Almost every folder is filled, and audio and video are the two still waiting for their files.
About this project
Sample Assets is a collection of sample material — data, code, images, video, audio, documents and prose — kept in one place so that a demo, a test, a tutorial or a prototype never stalls on the search for a file to feed it. Every developer accumulates the same scattered pile: a spreadsheet somewhere in the downloads folder, a placeholder photo borrowed from a blog post, a document that happened to be lying around. This is that pile, organised, consistently named and free to redistribute.
Data sits under a folder per format — CSV, JSON, SQL, TSV, plain text, XML and YAML — and code under a folder per language, fifteen of them from C to TypeScript. Images are split into photographs, illustrations, interface icons and objects cut out on a transparent ground. Documents have a folder per format, sixteen of them from PDF and the office formats to EPUB and LaTeX, and long-form prose and verse sit in a folder of their own as plain text. Every folder carries a README saying what belongs in it, which formats it accepts and how its files are named.
It holds no code to install and nothing to import: what it offers is files to take. Every folder but two now has its files, and audio and video are the ones still waiting for theirs.
