Glad you asked! So for reference, before I created this, I was using https://loremipsum.io/ and https://lorem2.com/. You can find more examples when you look up "Lorem Generator". They all either lack a copy button or have way too many steps to get a simple Lorem text.

For me, I just want to access a tool, do 1 step to quickly grab my Lorem and go. Hence the making of this site.

Imagine you are designing a 10-page website, you don't want to hand-select or click on "generate" and then copy every single time.

Just get in and out :D

That's the idea anyway. Thanks for your comment though, I am new here so I may not understand the culture here well.

It's just a weekend project.

Thanks! Will fix, did it during the weekend so I myself got tunnel vision.

Thanks for the feedback! It's true that I plugged my own studio cause I think it would not cause any harm. I just think if Shopify can plug their name on their side products like "Business Name Generator", we all can do it too.

For the "Slow" and "Clunky", I was talking more about the UX rather than the performance of such sites. The fastest way to quickly grab a "lorem ipsum".

For the 1mb logo, that's on me haha. Did it during the weekend. Thank you for letting me know.

That could work! Like a placholder video and image is various aspect ratio

Question: inline css font-family picker, is it similar to how google font works?

I would rather typing each letter our than pay $5 for a Lorem Ipsum Generator haha
That's actually a good idea. It is also a pet peeve of mine so I added "variations".

Your idea is way better! Thanks

I like this too! Simple and minimal but there is an additional step to click "Generate"

I want to remove that step as well haha
