Great idea!

Good find -- we'll fix that!

Once this becomes the next decacorn, we're going to get Ferdinand Z. M. B. K. M. O. A. B. L. von Habsburg-Lothringen to be our spokesman. Heck, Ferdinand -- if you're in the comments, you can be our spokesman now if you want

Cool, thanks - that seems to be a popular request. I think we'll build that next.

Those are great ideas. I hadn't thought of including a seed, but it shouldn't be too hard to set up. What kinds of data types are you imagining?

That's cool! We're thinking about adding an API in the future. What kinds of things are you using mockaroo for?

Right! We wanted to make sure not to use real people's photos. It is a bit eery that all of their eyes stay in the same place as you hit shuffle...

Good question. Most of our users integrate what they get from the branding process into their site, in a few different ways. If you haven't yet picked a template, you can use our design aesthetic suggestions to help you pick one. Once

Glad you like it! Yeah, we want to further refine our color system down the road. We have a lot of fun ideas for ways to make it better. RE:$X -- for the paid assets, right now, there is a human in the loop.

Thanks for the feedback. Our icon is a tiny Golden Spiral, which is one of the most common examples of the intersection between art and math. It's a little quirky, and it brings our team a lot of joy, so I like it a lot. P.S. there are
