Is it using https://fakerjs.dev/ ?

Not completely but for a good portion of it.

There was an interesting thread that did the rounds on HN a couple years back about using Faker in a related (but different) product.

Personally, I think your demo has a pretty neat / novel UX. I couldn't find a way to generate a large number of examples at once -- did I miss that somewhere?

So you should be able to use the repeat(numberOfTimes?) tag to generate an N number of examples. I believe I set the max now to 20.

But as long as the first index in an array is repeat(), anything in the second index will repeat N amount of times.
