I'm so sorry, what's cool about the project? It's literally 10 paragraphs that you can copy. You can copy the same paragraphs into a comment here and have, presumably, very similar experience (without the megabytes of data) for a static site.

I don't mean this derogatively, I just don't understand how is this better than literally any lorem ipsum generator.

I'm getting very strong "It's not a generator, Jerry!" energy.

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.
