Hey devs, I recently needed a way to populate my frontend app with realistic fake data (users, emails, addresses, etc.) for testing. Writing it manually was tedious.
I ended up building a small API where you define a JSON schema, and it generates fake data for you. For example, you can send:
{ "schema": { "id": "uuid", "fullName": "name", "emailAddress": "email", "city": "city", "isActive": "boolean" }, "count": 3 } And it returns realistic JSON results, perfect for demos or testing.
{ "count": 3, "results": [ { "id": "7f29cfa7-85e2-4c2a-bc42-2c611c5c...Hey devs, I recently needed a way to populate my frontend app with realistic fake data (users, emails, addresses, etc.) for testing. Writing it manually was tedious.

Would love feedback on the API or ideas for additional mock data types!
