Lilipsum is good. Used to be free but I think it’s still under $5.

I would rather typing each letter our than pay $5 for a Lorem Ipsum Generator haha

I'd rather pay for things than use "free" things that aren't reliable and end up eating my time to get them working again.

Even a small fee generally is enough to keep the person who created it interested in maintaining it and improving it.

I understand the sentiment, but this is why we have the free software sustainability crisis. https://www.hendrik-erz.de/post/open-source-has-a-sustainabi... https://fsfe.org/freesoftware/sustainability/sustainability....

The time taken to type out Lorem Ipsum would be worth more than $5. I know you have other options in this case, but why would you prefer to waste your time than spend money?

Wait what? Where is the free software here?

In fact this app seems very sketchy, since its website is dead, and its description states "And it’s completely free!" while it's not.

The listing says $0.99. The description says "And it’s completely free!"

Sounds strange that someone would pay for that. But who am I to judge.

I'm one of those people. The convenience of having it readily accessible in the task bar at any point is definitely worth the $0.99 for me. Whether I'm in Figma, Sublime Text, VS Code, or Google Chrome, I can get different lengths of Lorem Ipsum in just 2 clicks with no search or loading time.
