Tangentially, I got tired of Lorem Ipsum text and created Quantum Lorem Ipsum, now with 100% more physics jargon. http://neil.panchal.io/articles/quantum-lorem-ipsum/ https://github.com/neilpanchal/quantum-lorem-ipsum Edit: Created a Github repo
I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen a placeholder service that serves up ads in the images. The service gets revenue, and the dev gets something that's obviously not a final product.
Just wanted to comment on the clarity and effectiveness of the home page. Love it! So many user-friendly checkboxes are ticked off. Nice look, great description, plenty of examples, advanced usage section that's very easy to take in, credits at the bottom with some backend tech used, a welcoming contact link...

On the flipside, maybe this version better emulates (a subset of) technical writing? So if you're tuning the design of e.g. a book or thesis, this is more representative than actual Lorem Ipsum?
