About:
Lorem is a lightweight Python-based CLI tool designed to generate placeholder text, specifically lorem ipsum, directly in the terminal. It allows developers to quickly create dummy text for testing layouts, populating databases, or mocking content without needing an internet connection. Its main value proposition is speed and simplicity for command-line workflows.

Key Features:

CLI-based text generation
Customizable word and paragraph counts
Lightweight and dependency-free
Piping support for shell scripts

Use Cases:

Generating dummy data for UI prototyping
Populating local test databases
Mocking content in shell scripts

Alternatives:

jsongen – Generates JSON data rather than plain text
lorem-ipsum – Often refers to heavier web-based generators
