Someone made a Nuxt module when the devtools did not exist to view the images in the public directory: https://github.com/cssninjaStudio/nuxt-media-viewer

Here's a preview in the nuxt.com website:

The downside is that it extends the Nuxt pages so the implementation in not correct but I do love the idea.

Maybe something we could add with Nuxt Image module?
