Lorem Ipsum is scrambled Latin (loosely from Cicero) that designers and developers use as filler text in mockups so the layout, not the copy, gets attention. It looks like real prose without being readable, which keeps reviewers focused on visual design.
Different mockups need different vibes. The classic Latin still looks most "designer." Tech Ipsum is great for developer tools, dashboards, and CLI mockups. Corporate Ipsum is good for B2B landing pages where the real copy will be jargon-heavy. Pirate and Hipster flavors are useful when you want testers to actually notice the placeholder text and not paste it into production.
Yes. Every endpoint is GET-friendly and returns CORS-open responses. ?seed=N makes the output deterministic for snapshot tests. Pure-text responses are text/plain, HTML is text/html, and JSON output is fully structured with paragraph counts and character counts.
120 requests/minute per IP. Up to 50 paragraphs of 30 sentences each per call. No auth, no tracking, no API key. Part of the Forge Node 14-API suite.
